Coimbra ist die drittgrößte portugiesische Stadt entlang des Caminos und bietet alle Dienstleistungen und zahlreiche Unterkunftsmöglichkeiten, aber keine pilgerspezifischen Herbergen abgesehen von der Albergue Rainha Santa Isabel in Santa Clara auf der anderen Seite des Flusses.

Wenn Sie nicht hier übernachten, überspringen Sie nicht den Weg durch die Stadt; es ist schön, sie zu erkunden. Afonso Henriques, erster König von Portugal, wurde hier geboren und ist im Kloster Santa Cruz begraben. Dasselbe gilt für seinen ältesten Sohn Sancho I.

Coimbra hat zwei Kathedralen, die mit den Namen Sé Nova und Sé Velha unterschieden werden. Die alte Kathedrale ist romanisch, die neue Barock und Manieristisch, geschmückt mit Statuen von St. Ignatius, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, St. Francis Xavier und St. Francis von Borja. Die Heiligenstatuen wurden von den Jesuiten, die die Kirche erbauten platziert. Die Kirche wurde zur Kathedrale als diese aus Portugal vertrieben wurden, und mit den Statuen von Peter und Paul vollendet.

Fiesta

Feuerwerk am 4. Juli zur Feier der Königin Elizabeth von Portugal.

History

Coimbra war während des 12. und 13. Jahrhunderts die Hauptstadt Portugals, verlor jedoch an Bedeutung gegenüber der Hafenstadt Lissabon, erlangte aber Bedeutung als Universitätsstadt. Die Universität von Coimbra ist die älteste Universität der portugiesischsprachigen Welt.

The Road

Wenn Sie Coimbra nur durchqueren möchten, biegen Sie nach dem Überqueren der Brücke links ab und folgen dem Weg entlang des Flusses. Er wird unter der Autobahn hindurchführen, danach parallel zu einem Kanal, der sich auf Ihrer linken Seite befindet. 

Bleiben Sie auf dieser asphaltierten Straße durch einen Kreisverkehr und bald haben Sie einen überwachsenen Bachlauf auf der rechten Seite. Die Straße führt geradeaus bis kurz vor Adémia da Baixo, wo sie nach links abbiegt. Gehen Sie dann nach rechts über den Bach (Rio Velho) nach Adémia.

We came from Fatima by bus.
There is a great place right next to the station called Bus Station suites. It's about 23 euros, but has a kitchenette. It is directly on the camino route and just a 15 minute walk to the city centre.

I wrote a long yet fair comment about this albergue because we did not have a great experience there but it seems to have been deleted. I would not recommend this albergue unless you want the host in your business trying to mansplain and give you unsolicited advice at all hours of the day.

Great central location, clean new feel. Single beds, but they’re that close you might as well be in a double bed, especially if snorer beside you! Wi-Fi coverage was very poor

We arrived early because one of my family members had a knee injury and we wanted to leave our bags. The first man let us check in early and was very sweet and helpful. He wrote down our info and let us leave our bags.

When we came back later, a second man named Vitor greeted us and immediately made us re-write our information down saying that the police would come for us if any of the details were wrong. He also said we needed two stamps per day from Coimbra or we would be denied a Compostela (I’ve been told this is not true.)

Later, Vitor proceeded to hang about the common area and give the pilgrims lots of highly questionable, unsolicited advice about the Camino, injuries, blisters, footwear etc. It seemed like he wanted everyone to know how intelligent he was.

He did help one pilgrim with her sore knee by rubbing it with menthol cream. It was very sweet but also seemed to make her mildly uncomfortable.

He entered the room of all females without knocking and began to tell a physio that her professional opinion was incorrect. He should know because his family owns a clinic. He also mocked me for “being on my phone” even though I was booking accommodation for my family. This whole situation made the group of pilgrims very uncomfortable.

He was nice other than the mockery, conversational entrapment, unsolicited advice, uncomfortable lurking, and lack of boundaries.

The Albergue is simple but very beautiful with a lovely courtyard view of the Roman wall. The kitchen facilities were great and there were lots of sunny clotheslines to dry washing. The bed smelled like mold, but it was a very restful sleep for all. I would not recommend for female travelers as Vitor made us feel uncomfortable. I would not stay there again because I felt like I spent most of the day trying to avoid being sucked into Vitor’s incessant talking about himself.

Zero in hospitality When the pilgrims are already in bed, a man walks into the rooms, he has become aggressive when asked who he was and what he wanted. Zero respect for rest and privacy. I do not recommend it at all, it is worth spending a few more euros in a private one with respect for pilgrims and freedom of movement, they close the doors at 6:30 p.m. You can agree with them to enter at 9 or 10, then a man comes at the agreed time to open.

I’ve been to the Change the World Hostel, great location right in the city center and a great deal for the price. I’ve paid 16€ per night. Coimbra is beautiful, if you haven’t seen it before I suggest to stop 1 day longer and take a holiday day from the holiday Camino. Just don’t eat or visit the bars on the main road. The are VERY expensive and if you go in the early morning they serve food of the day before (at least one, where I’ve been)

Change the world hostel, still has great beds and bathrooms. It's in the old part of town and close to the Camino.
We had homemade ice-cream that where super tasty, and both with milk and a big vegan option.

If you are starting the Camino here, you can pick up a credencial at the Iglesia Reinha Santa Isabel (left bank of the river)
