Why choose Coimbra for your road trip
Coimbra — a city worth exploring
Coimbra's University, founded in 1290, is one of the oldest continuously operating universities in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city rises steeply from the banks of the River Mondego, with narrow medieval lanes winding up to the hilltop campus where the Joanine Library houses over 300,000 volumes. Beyond academia, Coimbra offers the Machado de Castro National Museum, the Romanesque Sé Velha cathedral, and the serene Jardim Botânico da Universidade de Coimbra, one of the oldest botanical gardens in Europe. The Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova, perched across the river, provides sweeping views of the old town. Aveiro, known for its canal boats, sits just 60 km north, while the Serra da Lousã mountains begin only 30 km to the southeast, offering forested trails and traditional schist villages. The Mondego valley and surrounding hills make for rewarding drives, though some routes through older neighbourhoods are narrow — a good reason to plan your stops in advance. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners in the Coimbra area, giving you the flexibility to explore central Portugal at your own pace while benefiting from peer-to-peer pricing and personal recommendations from people who know the region best.
Best time to visit
Coimbra is a rewarding destination year-round. Spring brings the Queima das Fitas in May, a week-long student festival with parades and live music that fills the city with energy. Autumn is ideal for exploring the Mondego valley with fewer visitors and comfortable driving conditions. Summer is the most popular season, so booking your campervan early on Yescapa ensures the best choice of vehicles from local owners. Winter in Coimbra is mild compared to northern Europe, and the university quarter feels especially atmospheric. Campsites in the region generally operate all year, making it easy to plan a trip in any season.

Where to park your motorhome
Coimbra offers several parking options suitable for larger vehicles. The city centre operates metered short-stay zones, so it is worth heading to car parks on the outskirts instead. Overnight stays in vehicles are generally not permitted on public car parks — use designated motorhome areas or the municipal campsite for that. Watch for height restrictions in multi-storey car parks, as many cannot accommodate motorhomes or campervans.
- Parque de Estacionamento do Estádio Cidade de Coimbra, 3km north — Spacious car park at the stadium in the north of the city. Well suited to larger vehicles, free on non-match days.
- Parque de Estacionamento do Mercado D. Pedro V, 1km west — Large car park near the riverside market, suitable for motorhomes and campervans. Metered during the day.
- Parque de Estacionamento da Universidade, 1km east — Car park on the university hill with views over the city. Height restriction applies — better suited to campervans than large motorhomes.

I ragazzi sono sempre stati cortesi disponili. Hanno restituito il van pulito e ordinato quasi pronto per essere rinoleggiato. Alberto è un ottimo pilota, ha guidato dal primo secondo con sicurezza e disinvoltura. Grazie ancora per aver scelto Strafic per le vostre avventure ❤️

We had an amazing trip with the big Yellow guy! The car is a real trustworthy opponent for the Portuguese mountains. We were with 2 persons and had more than enough space. When we arrived we got a clear and relaxed explanation of where we can find everything in te van and how it works, also got a great suggestion for a destination to start the trip with. Thank you!

We had an amazing experience renting Francisco’s motorhome. We really enjoyed the entire trip — the motorhome was very comfortable, well equipped, and perfect for our journey. Having air conditioning was also a huge bonus, especially during the hot days, and it’s definitely not something you can take for granted with motorhomes of this type. Francisco and his team were always available whenever we had a question or needed help, and communication was excellent throughout the entire rental. Overall, it was a fantastic trip, and the motorhome made the experience even better. If we decide to rent a motorhome again in the future, I wouldn’t think twice about contacting Francisco again. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great motorhome and a smooth, stress-free experience. Thank you for everything, Francisco! We hope to rent from you again in the future!
