Coimbra , Portugal

80

Coimbra rises above the Mondego River, a terraced hill of medieval lanes and university courtyards in Portugal’s Centro region.[1][6] It feels more like a compact scholarly town than a big city, yet anchors a metro area of nearly half a million.[1][6] Fado echoes from student republicas at night, giving the streets a quietly theatrical soul.
