Coimbra is Portugal’s main student town. This is a city and university with a long history and old traditions that are still very much alive. The ancient student uniform, for example, with a special suit and a long black cloak is still worn by most local students with pride. The University of Coimbra is one of the oldest universities in the world, after all.
