Situated on the banks of the Mondego River sits Coimbra’s Hotel Astória. The Astória is an Art Nouveau-Art Déco masterpiece with the romance and grace of a different century, and has been one of Coimbra´s main architectural gems for almost a century.
This hotel in Coimbra, has an excellent central location – adjacent to the downtown shopping district and close to the famous university and all the historic monuments – and with great river views. The Santa Clara Bridge has great views of the hotel.

In the center of the old town in Coimbra in a can’t miss it pink building is the tourist office. The office has maps of the city and can give you information on the various sites. To be honest I found the hotel concierge to be much more helpful.
COMUR Conserveira de Portugal – Coimbra, Portugal
Founded in 1942 in Murtosa, the COMUR factory is one of the biggest companies of the national canning industry.
Initially dedicated to the export of eels, the production then evolved towards the most varied types of canned fish.
Alex ordered some of the canned sardines at the hotel restaurant in the AC Porto by Marriott.
I did not try them but Alex absolutely loved them.
