I traveled through the northern part of Portugal over a month ago, landing in Lisbon first but immediately headed north to Coimbra first and then on to Porto and nearby towns. Truly a country full of beauty and history.
Day 1 – Coimbra
Formerly Portugal’s capital, a medieval city known best for its historic University of Coimbra, the oldest such scholarly institution in all of Europe. The main university building was once the royal palace.

Thanks! Yes, it is interesting how it’s getting a lot of publicity, but it seems like the “safest” place to go to with all the violence going on around the world. However, that wasn’t the reason I decided to go there. It’s just because it’s there and I felt like going there.

Royal Palace turned into an educational institute, I wonder when lavish mansions of my country’s top leadership will follow the same footstep.

Wow these locations look absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing. Love the fact that the main University building was once a royal palace. That’s amazing. Must be even more stunning inside. 😮 Do you visit museums whenever you go on these trips (if time permits it of course)?

Oh yes, I always go to selected museums and historical buildings. Once inside some of such places, taking photos is either restricted or limited to no flash. I took so many pictures and went to so many different towns on this trip, I had to spread them out or I wouldn’t do justice with the place and photos. Even then I have to be selective with photos because I took way more than I usually do.
