Why buy in Coimbra?

This unique city here in central Portugal boasts one of the oldest universities in Europe and sits above the river Mondego. The students give this ancient city a vibrancy that blends well with the relaxed lifestyle of its cosmopolitan people. The city has  architecture from the Romans and Moors who both left their mark on this former capital city of Portugal.

It is a special  place where the past meets the future and is fast attracting young entrepreneurs who have decided to settle here. The city offers a fantastic nightlife; great shopping which includes the major brands of national and international designers plus wonderful cuisine. All of this is within walking distance to the banks of the river. It is by the river that you can dine alfresco and watch the boats sculling on the wide gently flowing Mondego. 

Portugal has a very stable government that offers excellent fiscal and financial benefits to foreign investment, in real estate or in other economic areas. The Golden Visa program has been designed to help non-European citizens to settle here and establish their residency in Portugal.

Coimbra is the academic, economic and entrepreneurial capital of the central region of Portugal. Although property prices have risen consistently in the past few years, property in Coimbra remains very affordable to foreign investors and can be a profitable venture. Apartments are considered an attractive investment as Coimbra is home to some 40,000+ students and the lack of rentable accommodation may open doors to profitable rent to buys or fixer uppers.

The surrounding areas in the Coimbra district are as picturesque as the student city itself and offer many opportunities to start profitable B&B’s, holiday rental accommodation or campsites. Whether you are looking for a private home or an opportunity to invest, Coimbra could be the city for you!
