A few kilometres to the south-east of Aveiro is the lively university city of Coimbra which is a mixture of ancient and modern architecture.

Its streets are filled with the chatter of black-caped students and the soulful tones of fado. The university library, one of the best in Europe, is a Baroque fantasy where the rooms each lead into the next creating a telescope-like effect.

The old cathedral is one of the most important examples of Romanesque architecture in Portugal.
