Coimbra houses the nation’s first and most revered institution of higher learning - a university established in 1290, making it one of the oldest globally. Once the capital city of Portugal, Coimbra is a riverside city rich in history and architectural wonder. Discover the university tradition that had a part in shaping the Harry Potter’s academic garb and aspects of Hogwarts. Marvel at its historic center, arranged in steep layers, with a history traced back to Moorish periods, featuring dark cobblestone streets and a grand cathedral. The famous Fado song quotes, ‘Coimbra is a lesson’, which reverberates through the ages. Learn about the roots of this distinctly Portuguese musical style in the city where the founder of the Portuguese kingdom was born.
