Only short motorhomes can park here.Translating
We spent the night in the upper part of the parking area, next to the padel courts, which are in use until 11 p.m. Quiet night, with a few cars passing but no disturbance.Translating
On the ground floor inside the building on the left, there is what we might call a takeaway restaurant. It is not bad and makes a good compromise.Translating
Next to the padel court; it seems quiet.Translating
We felt safe here, a bit of shade. Bins in car park. Quiet night, slept well. About a 20 minute walk to the old town and university.
Convenient free parking for visiting Coimbra, 20 minutes on foot from the university. Thanks to the municipality. We parked across several spaces because our vehicle is 7.60 meters long.Translating
Convenient and seemed safe, but not quiet until 2 a.m. on Friday night. Served its purpose.Translating
Very good parking for visiting the city. A lovely walk through a large park leads there. We did not stay overnight, only had lunch. It is sloped but very nice. There is indeed traffic noise, but it is manageable. Beautiful place with plenty of space.Translating
Slightly sloped parking. Quite noisy from traffic. Public rubbish bins on site. We were the only ones there.Translating
Good, quiet place close to the city. You can hear the cars, but you can sleep.Translating
Parked here to visit town. Lots of room and felt very safe. Short walk into town. Would park here again
Well-located and quiet parking, 20 minutes on foot via the pedestrian bridge. A good option, except that we parked too close to the padel club, whose members partied until late at night.Translating
We stood near the entrance to P5, where there was fairly loud traffic. But if you go a little higher up and park by the padel court, it should be quieter.Translating
Free parking mainly suitable for vans under 6 meters. A paddle club nearby offers coffee in the morning and toilets. A lovely little bar downhill serves good wine. We cycled up to the university, but it was too dangerous. Small cobbled streets and steep gradients. Go on foot or by bus.Translating
Good place to park and spend the night. Great park by the river nearby
Good place for an overnight stay, but unfortunately the constant traffic noise throughout the night is bothersome. Very busy area.Translating
Quiet area 20 minutes from the beautiful part of Coimbra. There is a steep slope in the lower part of the parking area; the upper section is more level. Street lighting at night. We spent a peaceful night.Translating
It was a good night here. You can walk to the beautiful city in 20 minutes. If you like eating local food, we recommend Maria Rio. An incredibly nice owner who speaks excellent English. Excellent food and wine.Translating
large car park 1 hours walk from town. it has lots of spaces 50+ it's a large municipal car park no facilities apart from recycling.
We stayed here over the weekend. You can hear a little traffic noise, but we slept well and felt safe. About 30 minutes’ walk from the university. Recycling bins nearby.Translating
As mentioned below close to city with no services. The city is worth a visit. The parking lot is next to an outdoor pool and maybe busy during summer time. If you are over 6.5 meters it would be hard to find a spot during the summer. We are 8 meters and are parked sideways to fit in. Down along the river is unofficial parking for bigger units
We stayed very well; you can hear a little traffic, but it is a quiet place. There is a churrasquería nearby with excellent grilled chicken!!Translating
Great place; this area is just for a stop, not overnight. Along the river, the other area seemed better to us, with access to the city center via the footbridge. It is wooded and has water activities. It is worth staying there for less than 24 hours. Downside: no services, but they can be found 20 km away.Translating
A parking area 15 minutes through a beautiful park and across the bridge into the lovely city. The upper section has level spaces; otherwise it is very sloped. We had a quiet night from 11 p.m.Translating
The park is large and paved. It has some incline, but also many level and shaded spaces. The only downside is the noise from cars passing on the road behind.Translating
Free, quiet parking next to a padel center. There is shade, but most spaces are sloped. We ended up parking on the neighboring street, where the spaces were more level. Easy access and 15 minutes from the center. To get to the university, since it is uphill, we took an Uber for €5. We did not stay overnight because we were passing through.
Very quiet place to sleep, clean and safe.
