Getting oriented in Portugal

Portugal is compact and that makes it easy to get a taste of all of its parts. The North, however, is the scenic stronghold. Along the Minho the country is green, damp, and often startling in its ways and customs; and the sensational gorge and valley of the Douro River, followed along its course by the railway, off which antiquated branch lines edge into remote Trás-os-Montes. And if it's monuments you're after, the centre of the country, and above all, Coimbra and Évora - retain a faded grandeur.

Enjoy Coimbra, so old and so young

Portugal's brightest youth comes to Coimbra to the university, this gives the ancient place a delightful buzz of youthful energy.

Coimbra University is one of the oldest in Europe, founded in Lisbon in 1290, and then transferred to here in 1537. The University buildings are on a hill overlooking the city. This is a great place to visit . . . you enter the old part of the University through an Iron Gate, inside the gate is the enormous University Patio, with a large statute of João III.

Beside the gate, to the left when entering, you will see the long low palace wing. The University Library is in the far-left corner, take the tour that is provided . . . you'll be delighted. It is fascinating, very large and very old.
