The Venue
~~~~~~~~~
Coimbra is the most important city of Central Portugal. Situated on

two-hour train journey from the international airports of Lisbon and
Oporto. The University of Coimbra is one of the oldest in the world,
its history dating back to the 13th century. Grown up around its
University, Coimbra reflects a deep academic life, where cultural
tradition and irreverence merge together to offer a splendid well
being for residents and visitors. Because of its immense historical
heritage and unique romantic atmosphere, Coimbra is one of the
favorite tourist destinations in Portugal. Its population is
approximately 100,000. At the beginning of October, the temperature
