Since there was no city tour in German, we opted for an audio guide via the internet. Super great and informative: Touring Bee App. Available for several cities. We will definitely do it again in Lisbon, very relaxed

You can't see anything from here. You would have to go further up to the railing at the other end of the university.

This is the old cathedral of Coimbra. The cathedral is a massive, compact fortress building with a crenellated parapet and Romanesque portal and window arches on the west façade. It was built in the 12th century on the foundations of a 6th/7th-century church. Inside, the baptismal font (supported by lions and monsters, 16th century), the Gothic high altar (wonderfully crafted), Renaissance tombs, and a quiet cloister (south side of the cathedral, 13th century) are worth seeing.
