Coimbra - Praça do Comércio

To the west of the Rua Visconde da Luz lies the Praça do Comércio, the town's old market place. Nowadays one of the most impressive squares in Portugal, it is well worth lingering in a street cafe and looking at the facades of the nearby houses which have long been home to artisans and craftworkers.
