Subir à Torre da Universidade, que vista.
A Quinta das Lágrimas e a história de Pedro e Inês...
A Biblioteca Joanina é das mais bonitas do mundo.
A Sé Velha é linda.
Ouvir fado de Coimbra à noite, obrigatório.
Estudei lá, a cidade dos estudantes tem outra alma.
Portugal dos Pequenitos com crianças, adoraram.
