We very much enjoyed our stay at Coimbra Monumentais. The location is absolutely perfect being so close to the steps up to the University. The facilities were fine. My only suggestion for improvement is to automatically send the check in information rather than asking us to ask for it. I missed that point in the reservation. Most of our stays were with Air BnB and they automatically send the information a day or two in advance. We came to the back door (the 7A address) and had an issue with getting in. Once in, we were very well looked after. Thanks so much to Mariannna!

We stayed two nights at this lovely hotel, which we chose for its excellent location near the University of Coimbra. We were very pleased with our choice — our host, Estefania, made us feel completely at home with her warmth and hospitality. The breakfast was very good, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. They also had a wonderful gesture for my wife, who has a gluten restriction — they prepared a special breakfast just for her, and she was very pleased! The only small challenge could be the stairs, which might be difficult for those with mobility issues, but that’s something quite common in Coimbra due to its hilly geography. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The hotel has a charming and authentic atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the historic spirit of Coimbra. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

We loved this place from the moment we arrived. It’s really well presented, has great staff and free secure parking nearby, which in a city, is like gold dust. The B&B is in a great location next door to the university, close to the old town and walking distance to bars, restaurants and cafes. We stayed in a king room with kitchenette which had a super comfortable bed, good bedding and towels, plenty of hot water and a microwave, kettle, crockery and cutlery. Breakfast was a good range of hot and cold options. Highly recommended.

Cons: Rooms are a bit small, but clean. Wifi was not the best signal. Walls were a bit thin (can hear your neighbors easily). Pros: great breakfast, with a large selection and staff to cook fresh eggs/bacon for you. An amazing location, 2 minutes from the university!

The stuff is realy nice , espevially Fabrina and Joice breakfast was good. The room is very clean, the bathroom is wide and comfortable, it is located near the university, but very far from the old city. No elevator, a little bit difficult with luggage.

Response from the property

Passing through Coimbra and chose to stay at Coimbra Monumentais B&B. Great location walking distance to see the University and sights. Room was very nice and clean. Breakfast was delightful with a great variety of items to choose from. Recommended Papas restaurant to us upon our arrival which was a block down the street and was the best service and dinner. We arrived at night with rain, so we were unsure of location of entrance, so ask in advance for clear directions to the entrance prior to arriving. All in all a nice, affordable place to stay on your visit to Coimbra.

An enjoyable BnB close to the University and easy Old Town access. Uber is the way to travel - cheaper than public transit with 2 or more. The BnB is delightfully run by Bea and Bia, offering clean and contemporary rooms, a good breakfast, free secure parking, and superb location.

Beatrice and all the staff were wonderful and welcoming. The hotel is spotless and comfortable, breakfast plentiful and if the weather is good, served in the garden which is a little oasis of calm. Situated next to the main part of the university and the Escadas Monumentais (unsurprisingly) it is a great base for exploring the beautiful city of Coimbra. The botanical gardens are literally over the road. Great place to stay.

Frequently asked questions about Coimbra

When is the best time to visit Coimbra?

The best time to visit Coimbra is in spring (April to June) or early autumn (September to October), when temperatures are mild and rainfall is lower. July and August are the hottest and driest months, ideal for outdoor sightseeing but can feel intense. The rainiest stretch is typically from November to February, with cooler, wetter weather. The Queima das Fitas festival in May is a famous, well-documented celebration worth planning around.

Which area should I stay in in Coimbra?

Stay in the historic center, around the Old Cathedral and the University, for easy access to the main sights and a lively atmosphere. The riverside area near the Santa Clara bridge suits those who want scenic walks and a quieter feel. The Baixa, the lower town, is convenient for shopping and dining, with several hotels like CBR Boutique Hotel and Hotel Mondego nearby. For a more residential stay, the area around the Botanical Garden offers a peaceful setting within walking distance of the center.

What are the must-see attractions in Coimbra?

Start with Portugal dos Pequenitos, a park of miniature monuments that gives a quick overview of Portuguese heritage. The Monastery of the Holy Cross holds the tombs of the first two kings of Portugal. The Old Cathedral is a Romanesque gem, while the Botanical Garden offers a peaceful green escape. For a romantic touch, the gardens of Quinta das Lágrimas are tied to the story of Inês de Castro. The Choupal National Forest is a riverside woodland ideal for a stroll.

What day trips can I take from Coimbra?

The full-day tour from Coimbra goes to Fátima, Batalha, and Nazaré. Fátima is a major pilgrimage site, Batalha is home to a grand Gothic monastery, and Nazaré is a coastal town known for its beach and big waves. These three stops make a varied day trip from the city.

How many days do I need in Coimbra?

Plan 2 days for Coimbra. On day one, see the Old Cathedral, Monastery of the Holy Cross, and the New Cathedral, all in the historic center. On day two, visit Portugal dos Pequenitos, the Botanical Garden, and the Quinta das Lágrimas gardens. If you want to take the full-day tour to Fatima, Batalha and Nazaré, add a third day.
