How to arrive in Coimbra

Arriving by plane

In order to arrive at the city of Coimbra you need to use one of the airports Lisbon or Porto.
To go from any airport to Coimbra the best option is the bus. You can use RedeExpressos or Flixbus that will take you directly from the airport to the city of Coimbra.
From the airport of Lisbon to Coimbra, use RedeExpressos or Flixbus.
From the airport of Porto to Coimbra, use RedeExpressos or Flixbus.
You can also take the train to go from Lisbon or Porto to Coimbra, but then you need to take also the subway from both airports to the railway station of the city.

You can also follow this guide from the Municipality of Coimbra.

Traveling inside Coimbra

The MetroBus, the new rapid transportation system of Coimbra, is not yet fully functioning
but in December he will connect the Railway Station of Coimbra (Coimbra-B) to Praça da República (station "República"),
near the University of Coimbra (the main location, also called "Polo I"").
So you should study the map of the network and the schedules, but these are not yet the ones that will work in December.

MetroBus connects also many other locations namely the city centre, the arrival places of the buses and some hotels,
like the old and famous Hotel Astória.

It is the fastest means of transport within the city of Coimbra.
