The Santa Cruz Monastery, best known as Igreja de Santa Cruz, is a National Monument in Coimbra, Portugal. Because the first two kings of Portugal are buried in the church it was granted the status of National Pantheon. Founded in 1131 outside the protecting walls of Coimbra, the Santa Cruz Monastery was the most important monastic house during the early days of the Portuguese monarchy. St. Theotonius founded this community of Canons Regular of the Holy Cross of Coimbra and served as their first prior. The monastery and church were erected between 1132 and 1223.

Stay Hotel Coimbra Centro

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean"

Hotel Oslo

10/10 Excellent

"Hi, enjoyed our visit at hotel Oslo. The staff was very helpful. Breakfast was excellent. And we especially enjoyed the fact that in the evening there were so many restaurants close by with excellent food. We enjoyed the Italian restaurant and the policeman helped us find a very good Portuguese restaurant. We did take a Uber up to the university for a tour because it was a steep uphill climb and we are getting older. I suggest that the city market would be fun to visit if you walk back from the university towards the hotel. "

Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for tourist activities. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and very helpful. We appreciated their English language skills because our Portuguese is very limited. The hotel is of another era and transported us back in time with its old world charm, although maybe a little faded from its heyday. The many historic photos of the hotel and others in the same hotel group were fun to look at. The breakfast was VERY good with a wide selection of hot and cold options. The room included an entrance area separating the bathroom and bedroom, and were well appointed. We felt pampered. We also had a nice view of the downtown area and beyond from our room. We would definitely stay again on a return trip to Coimbra!"

Hotel Mondego

10/10 Excellent

"If you are considering this hotel, dont doubt. It is a great choice! The hotel is modern. The room is large and very comfortable. The bed was large and super comfy. Couldn’t really fault it. The location is perfect - located close to the old town and all the restaurants. We enjoyed our night in Coimbra at Hotel Mondego "

Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"Very unique room, location is right near University and close to Main Street and old town, Staffa are very friendly, the breakfast is brought into the room, no fancy but good for what are needed in the morning, also the water and shower has multiple heads, with strong warm water it can be a good message, highly recommend to stay so to have unique experience, best way is to get taxi so save energy to walk around later"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Santa Cruz?

The best time to visit Santa Cruz, Coimbra District, Portugal, is during the late spring and early autumn months, specifically from May to June and September to October.

These periods offer pleasant weather, with comfortable temperatures that are ideal for enjoying the coastal activities and exploring the town without the peak summer crowds. You'll find the ocean inviting for swimming and water sports, and the beaches are less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

For couples looking for a romantic getaway, these shoulder seasons provide a more tranquil setting. You can enjoy strolls along the extensive Santa Cruz Beach, explore the cliffs and natural rock formations, and dine at local seafood restaurants with ocean views without the hustle and bustle of mid-summer.
