About Coimbra
Location
Coimbra is in the centre of Portugal. About 2 hours from Lisbon and 1 hour from
Porto, the city have a good transport network that gives easy access to airports and
to the ports of Aveiro e Figueira da Foz. Coimbra has no airport. You need to use
either the Lisbon or Porto airports.
By Train:
Trains run by CP (www.cp.pt ) to and from major Portuguese cities. All of the
trains connecting Porto and Lisbon stop at Coimbra-B.
By bus:
Regular bus services connect Coimbra to many cities and other places in Portugal. It´s faster and fares are
normally cheaper than the train. The bus station is located at Av. Fernão de Magalhães and is easily
reached by local bus or on foot (10 min) to city center.
Get to Coimbra from Lisboa (Portela)
International Airport:
Get to Coimbra from Porto (Francisco Sá
Carneiro) International Airport:
You will need to catch a taxi to Lisboa Oriente railway
station; the journey should take approximately 10
minutes and cost 8-10€. Trains for Coimbra run every
hour; you should expect the journey to take
approximately 2 hours and cost 20€.
There are two railway stations in Coimbra: Coimbra A
– Estação Nova, “The New Station” and Coimbra-B –
Estação Velha, “The Old Station.” All trains stop at
Coimbra B. Once there, you should take a shuttle to
Coimbra A (your train ticket already includes this
short trip).
When leaving the airport head towards (metro). In the metro
station, take the option buy new ticket and select Z4 (Price:
1.40eur+0.50eur=1,90eur). You need to validate the ticket by
approaching the ticket to the yellow machines (as shown in the
picture) until a green light is shown and a single bip sounds.
You have to buy one ticket per person. Take the metro that
says Estádio do Dragão.
Exit at Campanhã (it’s the 19th station of your travel and the
trip should last about 33min). You have just left the metro
inside the railway station of Campanhã / Porto. You have to go
to the ticket office, and ask for a trip to Coimbra. The tickets to
a more central location cost 1,25€ more, this station is called
Coimbra-B. This station is more central easy to locate, and
easier for us to pick you up or direct you upon your arrival to
Coimbra. We advise you to when you buy your ticket to
choose Coimbra-B, but the cheaper option is Coimbra A.
6
By car:
If you want to get to Coimbra from Lisbon by car (200km), you should take the highway A1 in the
direction of Porto and exit in Coimbra Sul (toll charges = €12,65). The travel takes approximately 2
hours.
If you came from Porto by car (200 km), you should take the same highway A1 in direction of Lisbon and
exit in Coimbra North (toll charges = €6,45). The travel takes approximately 1 hour.
Weather
Winter and Autumn usually there isn’t negative temperatures, but because houses don’t have central
heating you need warm clothes to wear inside and outside the houses. It doesn’t snow in Coimbra.
Spring and Summer, hot and very hot weather, but some nights are cold. So bring bikinis and beach towel
but some jackets to wear during the night.
The City
Even if Coimbra is an ancient town it does never have
to worry about how to keep coming out with fresh
ideas or how to sustain vitality as there is one of the
largest universities in Portugal - the University of
Coimbra. As students of the university usually state:
“The city of students – it totally defines the city.”
Coimbra University is a public university and its
origins date back to the 13th century (as it was
founded already in 1290 by Portuguese King Dinis I).
Nowadays, it has students from 70 different
nationalities; so almost 10% of the students are
foreigners, making it the most international university in Portugal. University of Coimbra holds a great
historical meaning in Portuguese speaking world as well as in Europe’s higher education system.
Coimbra is divided into two distinct areas:
• Alta (upper town): Is the older part, which is entered through Arco de Almedina, a gateway
that brings back memories of the Arab occupation. The upper town consists of steep narrow
streets, where the "republics" (typical communal student residences) are to be found, as well as
some of the city´s most important buildings Sé Velha (Old Cathedral), Sé Nova (New
Cathedral), the University and the Casa de Sub-Ripas.
7
• Baixa (lower town): By the river, where most of the city is commercial activity is
concentrated. Beyond the university, Coimbra has much else to offer the visitor not least an array
of medieval churches. Accessing the old part of the city through the Arco de Almedina, we find
two cathedrals known as Se Velha (old) and Se Nova (new) referring to their respective ages,
and though the ‘new’ one dates back to the 17th century its senior was founded in 1170.
Polytechnic of Coimbra (IPC)
Polytechnic of Coimbra (IPC) that was created in 1979 when polytechnic education was introduced in
Portugal.
IPC has becoming today one of the largest polytechnics in the country and one of the most important
institutions of higher education in Portugal.
Today it encompasses six colleges:
ESAC (Coimbra College of Agriculture),
ESEC (Coimbra College of Education),
ESTGOH (Oliveira do Hospital College of
Technology),
ESTSC (Coimbra College of Health
Technology),
ISCAC (Coimbra Institute of Accounting
and Administration
ISEC (Coimbra Institute of Engineering).
In spite of the IPC’s recent history, it inherited the tradition and experience of the colleges which became
part of it.

Students: Associação Académica de Coimbra
Students are represented by the students' union Associação Académica de
Coimbra (AAC). Formed on 3 November 1887, it is the oldest university
students' union in Portugal, with a long history of struggle against unpopular
state policies, forming notable politicians and intellectuals along the way. It also
harbors a very dynamic associative life, with its numerous sports and cultural
sections, as well as a number of other autonomous organizations. It is an
important structure of extracurricular formation of the University of Coimbra's students and a major
institution of the city itself. The AAC develops activities such as theatre, cinema, radio and television
broadcast, music, choral singing, journalism or philately, as well as rowing, athletics and many other
sports. Every student, and occasionally some non-students, is entitled to belong to these sections.
Sports
Coimbra is home to Associação Académica de Coimbra - O.A.F. (known simply as Académica), a
professional football autonomous organism of the University of Coimbra students' union Associação
Académica de Coimbra, founded in 1872 and having its current statute of autonomous football
organization since the 1980s.
Coimbra also has one of the largest multisport clubs in Portugal: the Associação Académica de Coimbra
includes sections dedicated to a wide array of sports such as rugby, volleyball, handball, rink hockey,
basketball, baseball, tennis, swimming, rowing, among many others.
Accommodation
It is easy to find rooms for rent, as there are a lot of landlords, who offer annually their apartments. The
rooms´ prices (with furniture) are around 125€/200€ for a double room and 150€/250€ for a single room.
Sometimes expenses (electricity, water, internet and gas) are included, other times not or only some
expenses are included in the price.
There isn't always internet in the apartments, sometimes you have to talk with the owners to have it. We
take, usually, between one to three days to find a house. If you prefer a private apartment, you can find
some of them for rent around 350€-650€/per month.
IMPORTANT: Many houses in Portugal do NOT have central heating only small heaters so bring warm
clothes to wear inside the houses, especially in the 1st semester and beginning of second semester.
