Real photo postcard of Coimbra, Portugal, panoramic view from across the Mondego River. Two small sailboats glide on the calm water in the foreground, while the dense city rises steeply up the hillside behind the river promenade. The University of Coimbra — one of the oldest universities in continuous operation in the world, founded 1290 — crowns the summit, its baroque clock tower and main buildings prominent at the top of the hill.
