Holiday Rentals in Coimbra - A Guide to Coimbra
Coimbra municipality, not surprisingly is home to Coimbra city, one of the most important urban areas in Portugal after Lisbon and Porto.
Considering the importance of the city, there appear to be surprisingly few holiday rentals in Coimbra itself. This may be because it is so simple to visit the city from a holiday rental in Coimbra district, thanks to the excellent road network and public transport links. Although once the capital city of the country, Coimbra is now known as a university city, home to one of the oldest universities in Europe.
The Mondego river cuts the municipality in two flowing east to west and the city is situated on the northern bank. From any holiday rental in Coimbra you would be well placed to visit any number of churches and gardens and the 17th century aqueduct of St Sebastian. This aqueduct replaces a roman structure at the same location. Just to the south, in the municipality of Condeixra is the largest area of Roman remains in Portugal.
