The City of Coimbra has its own very special mystique. Most of the things to see and do in Coimbra and most of the places to eat or drink are within walking distance of each other and the rail station in Baixa. There are several hotels, restaurants, cafes, pastry shops and nightclubs in the city. You can travel using buses, trolleys or electric cars around the city. Most main monuments are in Baixa and Santa Clara where there are also smaller shops, restaurants and hotels. There are two student festivals that take place in Coimbra every year: Festa das Latas and Queima das Fitas.
