How to get to CES

From outside Coimbra

By car
Take the Coimbra Sul exit on A1 and drive towards Coimbra. After crossing the bridge over the River Mondego, take the first exit to Coimbra Centro. A further 200 metres ahead you will come to a roundabout on Av. Fernão de Magalhães. Turn left. Drive for a further 200 metres until you reach the traffic lights. Turn sharply right. You are now in Rua da Figueira da Foz. Drive 200m and turn left into Rua de Aveiro (uphill). A further 500m and at the top of Rua de Aveiro, turn right into Rua Infante D. Henrique. Drive a further 300m and turn right into Rua de Saragoça (downhill). Drive down Rua de Saragoça (300m) and Rua da Manutenção Militar (100m), straight ahead until you come to the traffic lights. At this point turn left into Avenida Sá da Bandeira (uphill). Drive up this avenue (500m) and when you reach Praça da República (immediately after Teatro Académico Gil Vicente, to your right), turn right into Rua Oliveira Matos (200m) Drive straight ahead, passing along Rua Castro Matoso (200m) until you reach a roundabout (Praça João Paulo II, with a statue of the Pope). Turn right into Calçada Martim de Freitas (the São Sebastião Aqueduct will be on your left) At the top of this Calçada you will reach Praça Dom Dinis, close to CES.

By train
Coimbra has two railway stations: Coimbra A - Estação Nova and Coimbra B - Estação Velha. Trains arrive at Coimbra B, and you can take the connecting train to Coimbra A (your train ticket covers this short journey). This is your best choice if you wish to get to the town centre. If you wish to come straight to CES, we suggest you take a taxi from the station.
