Experience in Coimbra, Portugal by Beatriz

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Coimbra? Is there any advice you can give?

No, there are a lot of rooms or residences for the students. If you're a girl, talk to me. I've been in a house that seems like a residence but it is just a big house with a nice old lady to take care of us.

It is usually for Erasmus students but there are also Portuguese students. The landlady only accepts girls.

It's near the university and the "Praça da República" (the best place to go out in Coimbra) and it's really nice to know a lot of people! We like to call it the Red House. If you're interested, contact me. This is the house.

Is it good to eat out in Coimbra? Can you tell us your favourite spots?

What advice would you give future students heading to Coimbra?

Make the most of it, because here will know the true meaning of the word "saudade" and for sure you will want to return.
