Coimbra is the Portuguese equivalent of Italy's Pisa or Germany's Heidelberg, a city put on the map by the ancient Coimbra University.The best time to visit the university is in May when the students celebrate the end of the academic year in the Queima das Fitas, joyously tearing and burning their gowns and faculty ribbons. This is when you're most likely to hear the Coimbra fado, distinguished from the Lisbon version by its mournful pace and romantic lyrics sung to the accompaniment of a traditional 12-string Coimbra guitar. The Mondego River crosses Coimbra, a river found so frequently haunting Portuguese literature that it is also known as "The River of Poets." Being the a city of learning through history, Coimbra is associated with Portugal's most important religious, artistic, intellectual and political figures more than any other Portuguese city.
