Coimbra

If you are looking for a city that is a good mix of work and fun, Coimbra might be what you need. As a university town, it is one of the cheapest places to live in Portugal, making it great for students or anyone wanting to save money. With tasty food, good local wines, and many cultural events, Coimbra offers a lot of what Portuguese life has to offer without high costs. You can enjoy its green spaces, but be ready for some hills! Whether you are walking through the old streets or visiting the University of Coimbra, the atmosphere is relaxed. Also, the low-cost places to stay are better than in bigger cities like Lisbon or Porto. However, if you have trouble walking, the hilly area might be hard to manage. The city does have some tourists, but it is not very crowded. So, if you plan to visit, be ready for a real Portuguese experience with energy from students and historical sights!
