Meu Deus!! Como Coimbra pode ser tão linda!?

[@philvanderheit5985]

Filmer une ville en prenant le temps ; à l'allure du pas, s'imprégner de l'atmosphère d'un quartier et de l'âme de ses habitants, c'est génial ce que vous faites ! Je suis né à Coimbra il y a demi-siècle et voici déjà 11 ans depuis que je n'y suis pas retournée, votre vidéo m'a beaucoup ému, un grand merci à vous.

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks Phil, and you're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@jaxwylde2139]

Was in Portugal for two weeks in 2015, and spent a few days in Coimbra. We loved every minute of our visit to Portugal, and the few days we spent in Coimbra. We can't wait to go back.

[@minafernandes8429]

Muito lindo este vídeo sobre a cidade de Coimbra, uma das cidades mais lindas de Portugal!!! Parabéns pelo trabalho !!!!

[@MissMellyVee]

What a gorgeous city, filled with building after building that are like rare treasures of design! That stone church with the arched doorways and indeed all the churches shown, were magnificant..I love how streets are closed off to traffic, making it a paradise for pedestrians. And that park WOW, just wow, so verdant, lush and alive.... The antiquity of Europe blows my mind, living all my life in Australia, we do not have such history....gorgeous video sweetie!

[@WatchedWalker]

Thank you as always MMV, there are so many amazing buildings there, it was wonderful to explore. I do love pedestrian only streets, we need far more of them everywhere.

Dear Watched Walker, words are not enough to express how much your videos helped my mind "travel", throughout the pandemic, when I wanted to travel more then ever, especially to Lisbon. Thank you for every minute of detach and relaxation I got from only watching your work. I wish you all the best and keep up the great job that you do! Who knows where the tourism is heading... at least we have your videos to transfer us anywhere we want ❤️

[@WatchedWalker]

Ana, you're very welcome, thanks for your kind words, take care :)

Such an incredible place!!! I enjoyed some days in this city during my roadtrip through Portugal and it was just amazing to enjoy the life of its streets, its monuments and its gastronomy 😄👍

[@links2films201]

It is a Spanish tradition to visit Portugal during the Easter holiday and could year some Spaniards talking about the "Semana Santa" the holy Week , they will be back in Coimbra this April.

[@carlosmagalhaes7109]

I'm Portuguese and I didn't know it. Here we also call it "Semana Santa".

Beautiful historic city. It was home to the first Portuguese kings. I wish the government would invest in the restoration and better preservation of a lot of the buildings though.

One of the Great Underrated Towns of Portugal, along with Seisembra, Tavira, Tomar, Braganca, and Evora. My crazy Avant-garde Musician friends from Lisbon, play shows in Coimbra all the time! - It's a University Town!

Foarte ciudată arhitectură, e înspăimântător, clădiri inalte, inghesuite si foarte multă piatra!!😮

[@Jonegy]

Really well choreographed walk , loved the way you ignored Portal de Barbaca on the first pass then casually walked up on the return. Haven´t been down for nearly 10 years and even in that time I can see the changes - and the difference since my first time in the 1980´s - I will have to sort out a week or so for a trip this year as you´ve shown me places in the old town that I had missed. Regards from the other portuguese gem - Viana do Castelo

[@WatchedWalker]

Thank you Jonegy, I definitely want to explore more of Portugal - I've really enjoyed what I've seen so far! :)

The botanical garden is great, luxuriant and exotic, and it is so nice that it is located so close to the University complex. A great video, you managed to cover almost all of Coimbra´s old city 👍 Ps. Looking forward for the Porto videos! (I presume they will be coming 😁)

[@WatchedWalker]

Thank you Durão, unfortunately I didn’t get to Porto in that visit - I’d love to return and go there though, it looks beautiful :)

[@ZEROZERO-xx3qm]

@@WatchedWalker You will love it, and make great videos there too ;-) Because you went north from Lisbon to Coimbra I thought you would finish your portuguese trip in Porto, but a single day would not be enough for Porto, whilst with the same amount of time you could cover almost all of Coimbra, the city of "students". Porto deserves a trip by itself ;-)

[@KrystinaMariePrice]

@@ZEROZERO-xx3qm ... I just left Porto and find that I'd like the via de Gila side better if I was to live there ;-) Right now I'm thoroughly enjoying Aveiro because of its size and art community. (Finally, I have something to say about Portugal, your beautiful country and the loving spirit of your people. Last week I was in love with Chaves. Tomorrow Luso...

[@ZEROZERO-xx3qm]

@@KrystinaMariePrice Loved reading about your experiences so far in Portugal ;-) Gaia side is indeed more slow paced and has the best views of Porto. In Aveiro, and if you still have time, try visiting the beach town of Costa Nova, only a 10 min drive from the city centre. I am sure you will find the colourful striped houses very pretty :-)

My Lovely City...!!! Worked for the Uni for 20 Years... One day I'll return home... Thanks for the Video. U where able to show most of the Old City. However, I have to say, that we lost a lot of commerce and now, has we can see in the footage, most of the streets are empty due to the 2012 crises... And don't forget the "Uni Students Annual Party" aka "Queima das Fitas"... :-) Thanks

[@paullewis2413]

Great video as usual. Beautiful city and best of all doesn't appear as overtly touristy as so many other historic European cities have unfortunately become. I know Lisbon very well but need to explore Coimbra next time.

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks Paul, it's a lovely city, well worth visiting!

[@luisluiscunha]

Commenting from Coimbra: the video nails it very, very well. I mean, we have to stop spending money and polluting the air with our airplane traveling... Just see a video like this on a big screen, and you will be just as good as walking in Coimbra. Use the money to improve your local community. Thank good for the Internet, and good videos like these. I don't want to go to NY anymore, having seen it already from so many angles, from people such as those who did this video. Kind regards from Portugal.

[@linogalveias]

it's good to do it, but no video will ever substitute the experience of being there, experiencing the destination, people, the food, the art.... Coimbra is worth a travel, also to the beautiful region with so much to do and see
