Portugal, Coimbra
Your new chapter in Coimbra starts with Livensa
Coimbra is a university city in the truest sense of the word. Here, almost everything revolves around student life, while still keeping the calm and welcoming atmosphere that makes settling in feel easy from the very beginning. With historic streets, cafés full of students, centuries-old buildings and views over the Mondego River, Coimbra combines academic tradition and local life naturally. It’s a smaller city than Lisbon or Porto, but that’s exactly why many students choose it: everything is close by, student life is part of everyday life and it’s easy to feel part of the city quickly. At Livensa, we want to support you throughout this experience.
