Hey world travelers! Are you heading to Portugal soon? We really enjoyed our time there and highly recommend watching our full Portugal playlist to find out everything you need to know before you go. czcams.com/play/PL6WgaSma-oe2Pzkxm1Tt9i9XNu4t-CK0x.html
Love that you guys ate in the university cafeteria, it looked and sounded like a beautiful place, imagine studying there with those views!
I know! I wonder if those college students know how good they have it!
You were right about this city being full of history 😊 I love that you are in the university cafeteria. Sounds like that library is definitely worth visiting in person.
Yep, we really went back to school on this one. If only my university really had a Royal Palace though. 😂
@@LucasWorldTravel right? 😆
Allready spend several vacacions in Coimbra, is so beautiful and the food and sweets are so delicious
I wish we got to eat more here, but the university cafeteria was actually pretty good.
Wonderful showing of Coimbra! Lots to see in Portugal - a country we have yet to visit. Well done again, my travelling friends 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀.
Yes there really is a lot to see and do in Portugal. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful I wanna really start exploring different cities towns when I travel off the beat and path people miss out on alot by focusing just on touristy popular area's Portugal looks so beautiful hopefully you'll find that forever home to settle in so many choices abroad.😊
Yes we were so fortunate that we got to see more than just Porto and Lisbon. It really enriched our visit. Loved Portugal!
Lovely place
It really is! Thanks for stopping by!
thanks so much for this video!!!I will there in June
Nice! Hope you enjoy Coimbra!
Am binge watching Portugal from LWT..thanks so much opening us up to things I had not heard or seen on other sites!
Sure, glad we could share some off the beaten path destinations. Enjoy Portugal!
so many cool things to do, really a great travel guide 😍
Thanks so much!
Great videoa
Many thanks!
Thumbs Up!
The train also takes you to the city centre. You just need to change trains at Coimbra B station (that's included on your ticket).
We thought that too, but couldn't figure it out once we arrived at the train station. We asked and everyone said there was no train to go any further. Perhaps that info was lost in translation though.
@@LucasWorldTravel you need to change to the suburban train, and it is only one stop (or about 5 minutes) to Coimbra Station. It beats taking a taxi. Sadly, Coimbra Station is scheduled to be closed down soon, for whatever reason, but for now you can still use it. What people told you was that your train wouldn't go any further, which was true, but the rest was just lost in translation...
Do you know if the train stations in Aveiro and Coimbra have luggage storage services? I'm planning to visit Portugal in April and would have a similar itinerary like you going from North to South. I would hate to be taking trips south from Porto then back to Porto with the intent on going south again to Lisbon. Would want to just continue from Coimbra to Lisbon.
These are the stations that have lockers. www.cp.pt/passageiros/en/how-to-travel/Useful-information/luggage-lockers. Otherwise you can use the Bounce app to find places that have luggage storage.
Please in need of a studio bedroom in coimbra .Any reference?writing from Cameroon
No, because we didn’t actually stay in Coimbra. We just took a day trip there.
The university is a castle
Yes exactly!
