University of Coimbra (Universidade de Coimbra)
Portugal’s oldest university, the University of Coimbra (Universidade de Coimbra) was founded in 1290, and is located in the former capital city.
Description
Though it was first founded in Lisbon, the hilltop University of Coimbra has occupied its current location since 1537. One of the world’s oldest universities, it was also the only university in Portugal until the 20th century. Its lofty academic reputation is one draw, but so is the university’s setting. Built on the site of a former palace, the 16th-century, UNESCO-listed campus sports a sprawling courtyard; a baroque library; a science museum; a botanical garden; and striking, centuries-old architecture at every turn.
The University of Coimbra features numerous tour itineraries, including private campus tours, skip-the-line visits, and full-day Coimbra city tours. Book a tour that suits your visiting preferences best, and you’ll discover its top highlights.
