Portugal is much more than just Porto and Lisbon. Travelers often ignore Coimbra, the former capital of the state, unaware of its beauty. What Coimbra is famous for is an ancient University, a World Heritage Site. Here you can enjoy fado, played exclusively by male performers dressed in traditional student uniforms. Lots of attractions, museums, and open spaces will fill your day.
A must-see is the Baroque Library of Joanina, which is considered one of the most magnificent university libraries in the world. 60,000 books from the 16th to the 18th century, including rare ones - it's a majestic experience not to be missed.
There is no direct rail link from Porto airport. You first need to get to the city center. You can take the metro, line E, and get off at the Campanha stop. That's where you can board the train to Coimbra. Departures are hourly, and you will arrive at your destination in about 1h14min.
A bus is not so convenient, as the service is not so frequent. There is a night bus by Flixbus, which runs 3 times a week, and will take 2h20m to reach Coimbra.
You can easily hop in a taxi at Porto airport. If you opt for a taxi, be sure to take a licensed taxi. They are parked right outside the Terminal. You will easily spot them by the sign "taxi" on the roof.
Inside the vehicle, you should be able to see the taximeter. Take the bill at the end of the ride. Be prepared for both the hefty price and the possible extra cost of luggage.
