Set in the heart of the old town of Coimbra, Portugal this charming central square is the perfect place to base your exploration of this wonderful city. We were staying at the Hotel Oslo which was just a block away from the square.
The alley leading to the square is lined with restaurants many of which we were to try in the next several days. Click the links for reviews of the ones we sampled.
The Gelateria Bellini where we had our first pastel da nata.
Many more restaurants were closed due to COVID hopefully they will reopen but they may be gone forever 🙁
The square has many historical buildings surrounding the statue of Joaquim António de Aguiar.
Notable buildings include the Hotel Larbelo,
The Bank of Portugal,
The tourist office,
and the nearby St. Tiage Church and St. Bartolomeu Church.
