Pros
- spending a night in Coimbra could be a really nice stop it’s a charming university town with beautiful historic streets and a lively atmosphere even in March.
- I agree but would add that we loved Coimbra! We had an amazing meal at a little mom and pop restaurant that happened upon.
- Guimarães, Braga, Coimbra, Aveiro, Óbidos (Village) are a nice option as well.
- Otherwise, Coimbra might be a good stop on the way from Porto to Lisbon to see the historic university. It's one of the oldest in the world and they have a beautiful library worth visiting.
- My favourite part of Portugal is midway between Porto and LIsbon. Alcobaca, Batalha, Obidos, Coimbra...

Visit Coimbra, our city is so cool
Try to visit Coimbra and Nazare between Porto and Lisbon. We stopped in Coimbra for a tour of the University and then in Nazare for a late lunch and an hour or so walking around.
