Coimbra, in the heart of Portugal, was the medieval capital for more than a hundred years. Monumental, inspiring and surprisingly charming, the city faces the Mondego River, crowned by the University and its stunning baroque library. Coimbra is the oldest university city in Portugal, where students dressed in black roam the streets, keeping alive the tradition of the night serenades of Fado de Coimbra. An intrinsic part of the city for more than 25 years, Tivoli Coimbra Hotel is the chosen place for special occasions and events. Sit back in stylish surroundings and enjoy our trendy new coffee shop, Simone. Ideally located for a city break, our 4 star hotel in Coimbra also benefits from a region rich in attractions: the historic centre, the University Library, the Santa Clara-a-Velha Monastery and the Sé. Nearby is Conímbriga, a well conserved city of the Roman age. For the more active, canoeing on the Mondego River is a must. Families can visit the Portugal dos Pequenitos to see the most emblematic cities and monuments of the country in miniature form.
