This Spacious Weekender Bag Is the ‘Perfect Personal Item’ for Flights, and It’s on Sale for Presidents Day

The water-repellent style features a trolley sleeve for effortless transport.

Some of the biggest retailers are already dropping Presidents Day sales ahead of the holiday weekend, and as shopping experts , we advise you to take advantage of these deals as soon as possible since items sell out quickly. 

Target dropped its holiday weekend deals early, and one in particular caught our eye — the Vera Bradley Weekender Travel Bag that’s currently 30 percent off. If you’ve been waiting patiently to shop, the good news is you don’t have to hold off any longer. 

Vera Bradley Weekender Travel Bag

Buy on Target

The carry-on compliant bag features all of the must-have details to make traveling a breeze, including organizational pockets, a trolley sleeve, shoulder handles, and a crossbody strap for comfortable transport. The outside has a front zip pocket, two side slip pockets, and one top slip pocket for frequently grabbed airport items, like your passport, cell phone, and plane ticket. The large main interior compartment combines five mesh slip pockets to keep clothing, toiletries, and tech devices separately stowed and organized. 

To make it even more of a convenient style , the exterior is made from a quilted, water-repellent polyester to keep everything inside dry when the weather is unpredictable. And if it happens to get stained, you can spot-clean it with mild detergent and a damp cloth. 

Other weekender bags can be on the bulkier side and difficult to slide under airplane seats, but one shopper said this sleek style is “very compact,” while another person deemed it the “perfect size.” It’s available in two solid colors — black and green — and three different patterns that are a smart choice if you want a bag that’s distinguishable from other travelers' belongings.

One customer loves the ability to secure the “lightweight and stylish” weekender on their rolling suitcase thanks to the trolley sleeve. Another reviewer called it the “perfect personal item for air travel,” and several travelers couldn’t help but rave about how “roomy” it is. 

Grab the Vera Bradley Weekender Travel Bag while it’s on sale for Presidents Day, and keep scrolling for other shopper-loved weekender styles available at Target .

The Ultimate Coimbra Travel Guide

Coimbra is the former capital of Portugal. The country’s 4 th largest city, Coimbra is the largest city of the Central Portugal region.

Located on the Mondego River, the preserved medieval Old Town offers beautiful, Romanesque and gothic-style cathedrals and convents, old fort arches, botanical gardens, and plazas and pedestrian streets full of colorful, Portuguese shops and restaurants and the sound of Fado music.

University of Coimbra on hill

Overlooking the Coimbra city center is Coimbra’s most notable attraction, the University of Coimbra – Alta and Sofia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since June 2013.

Once in Lisbon, the university was moved to Coimbra in 1308 and built on the grounds of the former Royal Palace of Alcáçova, all giving nod to Coimbra’s Portuguese history, wealth, influence, and education.

In two hours or less from Porto or Lisbon, a Coimbra visit is convenient for at least a day’s worth of interesting attractions, ideal for Coimbra solo travel over 50.

Like other cities in Portugal, the best time to visit Coimbra relies on weather, costs, activities and events offered, including the Coimbra University schedule.

Coimbra Weather & Costs

Coimbra temperatures average from the 40°s F to 80°s F, with warmest weather June through September. These are also Coimbra’s driest months, and longest, which also provide for enjoying the best of Coimbra outdoors.

June through September can also see more tourists, which could drive up prices.

Coimbra can receive considerable rain from October through May. The rainiest and coldest days are November through February, but offer lower costs.

View from Museu Nacional Machado de Castro Coimbra

If you visit Coimbra October through May, bring an eco-friendly travel umbrella , just in case.

I was last in Coimbra in mid-October. There was no rain. The overcast days were still warm, and there weren’t many tourists. 

For this Coimbra travel guide, I would recommend Coimbra travel in October if you wish to avoid the crowds and higher Coimbra accommodation costs.

Coimbra Events

So as not to impact your one day in Coimbra, or add to it, I suggest checking the Coimbra events calendar and Portugal’s holidays to help determine which month is best for your Coimbra solo travel .

The University of Coimbra influences Coimbra happenings, so I suggest also checking the Coimbra University academic calendar to know when students are on holiday or not in class, like for the Queima das Fitas (Burning of the Ribbons), which happens every May and is the largest Coimbra festival the town holds.

Tricana of Coimbra sculpture

The best way to get to Coimbra Portugal is by bus or train . They are the quickest, cheapest and most eco-friendly methods of Portugal transportation.

Just 120 km south of Porto, 60 km south of Aveiro, and 200 km north of Lisbon, seeing Coimbra in a day is fairly easy.

Eco Travel Tips

For flights only 2 to 3 hours in duration to, from, or within Portugal, take the train or bus instead. It could also save time and money, and the scenery is much prettier.

When hiring a rideshare, choose the  Bolt Green  or  Uber Green  options, or use  Carpoolworld or BlaBlaCar , to support the use of electric cars and carpooling for cleaner transportation in Portugal.

Coimbra from Porto

Porto to coimbra bus.

There are multiple, daily Porto to Coimbra buses . The bus ride is about an hour and a half and arrives at the Rua do Padrao bus station.

From the Coimbra bus station, you have three options to start your one day in Coimbra: you can either walk 20 minutes south to the city center, catch a 5-minute taxi or Uber to the city center, or walk 5 minutes north to the Coimbra B train station to catch the local train to the Coimbra A train station at the base of the city center (tickets are cheap).

Porto to Coimbra Train

Train times from Porto’s Vila Nova de Gaia-Devesas station to the Coimbra B train station vary from about an hour to an hour and 20 minutes, depending on time of day. Multiple Porto trains to Coimbra leave daily.

When you arrive at Coimbra B, again, you can walk or switch trains to Coimbra A, which is faster. Your train ticket fare includes the train from Coimbra B to Coimbra A. You do not need to buy a different ticket. Just switch platforms.

Rua Visc. da Luz on 1 day in Coimbra

One Day Trip from Porto to Coimbra

Although this solo day in Coimbra itinerary is meant for an overnight stay in Coimbra, a Coimbra day trip from Porto is completely doable.

Note, if you are only in Porto one day, then I do not advise going to Coimbra for any period of time. Make the most of your Porto solo travel. Don’t forget to use my ultimate Porto Solo Travel Guide to plan it.

Returning from Coimbra to Porto is just as easy. The last Coimbra to Porto bus departs Coimbra around 10:30pm, and the last Coimbra to Porto train departs around midnight. Both allow for seeing Coimbra in one day.

Check current bus schedules and current train schedules to confirm what will fit your single travel itinerary.

Of course, I recommend using my Coimbra one day itinerary for top Coimbra sightseeing, but you do have the option to take a group day trip to Coimbra if you want a break from being alone on your single over 50 travel.

Lisbon to Coimbra

Lisbon to coimbra bus.

Likewise, there are multiple Lisbon to Coimbra buses , but they may not leave daily. The bus ride from Lisbon is about two hours and twenty minutes from the Lisbon Oriente station to the Rua do Padrao Coimbra station.

Lisbon to Coimbra Train

Train times from the Lisbon Santa Apolonia station to the Coimbra B train station vary

from about an hour and forty minutes to two hours, depending on time of day. There are many daily Lisbon trains to Coimbra .

See the above notes on getting to the city center from the bus and train stations.

Igreja de Santa Cruz on 1 day in Coimbra

Coimbra Day Trip from Lisbon

Like Porto, if you only have one day in Lisbon, then I do not advise taking a day trip from Lisbon to Coimbra. Make the most of your Lisbon solo travel.

If you have time in your Portugal solo travel itinerary for Coimbra, returning from Coimbra to Lisbon is easy. The last Coimbra to Lisbon bus departs Coimbra around 6:30pm. The last Coimbra to Lisbon train departs around 9:48pm.

Although both the train and bus go daily from Lisbon to Coimbra, the trains to Coimbra are faster and more plentiful than the bus, allowing you more time to see Coimbra in one day on a day trip.

Again, if you don’t want to do a day trip to Coimbra from Lisbon alone, you can sign up for a group excursion to Coimbra in lieu of using my Coimbra one day itinerary.

Porto to Lisbon with 1 Day in Coimbra

Just a side note: if you’re on your way from Porto to Lisbon (or vice versa) but can’t stay the night in Coimbra, I recommend making a stop for a day in Coimbra anyway. Just check your luggage.

Coimbra luggage storage is available. The Coimbra B train station has lockers on the main platform in addition to other luggage storage options .

Covid Travel Tip

As of January 2023, Portugal no longer requires a Covid test for entry to Portugal unless arriving on a direct flight from China.

Once in the Coimbra city center, it’s doubtful you’d need car transportation within Coimbra. The best way to get around Coimbra is by walking.

Is Coimbra is walkable?

Coimbra is walkable, but the Old Town terrain east of the Mondego River can be steep. At the base of the city center and west of the river it’s fairly flat.

It helps to be in shape to be walking around. I highly recommend wearing light-weight, eco-friendly walking shoes .

Barbican Gate Coimbra Portugal

Eco-Friendly Transportation

If you’re not used to walking on inclines, there are electric Tuk Tuks available and make getting around Coimbra easy. They even offer guided tours .

Electric Tuk Tuk on 1 day in Coimbra Portugal

Coimbra’s crime rate is considered very low and safe to walk alone during the day and night.

I did not feel unsafe when in Coimbra for a day. My hotel and itinerary were solely within the city center.

As a general precaution as a solo female traveler, I make a point to stay away from secluded or unlit streets and alleys.

As always, use a safe, travel day-bag keep your belongings with you at all times, and be watchful of pickpockets in crowded, touristy areas, on crowded public transportation and during crowded events.

If you normally feel uncomfortable being out solo at night, you may want to consider visiting Coimbra during the summer months when the daylight hours are longest so you have more time to explore Coimbra.

Igreja de Santa Cruz & Coimbra Town Hall

This Coimbra solo travel itinerary is made for staying overnight in Coimbra. It makes for a more relaxed visit than a day trip from another Portugal city.

Since you’re only spending 1 day in Coimbra, the lower elevation of the city center marked on the Coimbra map below is the best location to stay in Coimbra for faster Coimbra sightseeing and dining for all travelers, not just single travelers.

Where to Stay in Coimbra

Solo Travel Tips

Have WhatsApp on your mobile device(s). Many smaller establishments and activities offices use this as a method of communication making it easier to make inquiries or booking and learn, or notify, of any scheduling changes.

Get the T-Mobile International Plan or something similar in price and features. I no longer work on WiFi only on international travel. I’ll use it when it’s there, but having access to roaming when needed for GPS and Google Maps is a game changer.

Coimbra Hotels and More

Coimbra has multiple hotel and hostel options across all budget types. Going in the off season, outside of festivals, or booking well in advance, will get you the best Coimbra prices on any type of accommodation.

Consider booking at a property that either is eco-friendly or sustainably rated, or at least employs these methods into their business.

Coimbra Hotels

For location, price, amenities (including free-cancellation), eco-friendly and sustainable operations, and customer reviews and ratings, here are my Coimbra solo travel recommendations (i.e., where I would stay):

  • Hotel Mondego
  • Tivoli Coimbra

My Coimbra hotel was Hotel Oslo . This hotel checks all of the boxes.

Hotel Oslo is right around the corner from Coimbra A station. The staff is very friendly and helpful with tourism information. The breakfast was ample, and they have a bar onsite so you can enjoy a cocktail on their rooftop lounge with great city views.

I was able to check in early to my requested room with a city center view. They offer baggage storage for guests and non-guests alike. Last, this ‘Travel Sustainable’ hotel is also Green Key certified.  I would definitely stay at Hotel Oslo again.

View of Coimbra from Hotel Oslo room

In addition to Booking.com’s Coimbra’s Travel Sustainable properties , Green Globe and Green Key Global also have eco-friendly certified lodging options.

Coimbra Hostels

A hostel can be a budget accommodation in Coimbra for solo travel over 50.  Using the same conditions above, and the ability to get a private room, my Coimbra hostel recommendation is Change The World Hostels – Coimbra – Almedina .

Although it doesn’t have a ‘Travel Sustainable’ label, its multiple eco-friendly business practices are better than most other accommodations. I would feel comfortable staying at this hostel.

Budget Travel Tip

There are Coimbra hostels that could start from around €20/night, depending on what amenities and location you want. Note, these are usually a bed in a dorm room. A private room in a Coimbra hostel could cost the same, if not more, than a budget hotel.

  • Núcleo da Guitarra e do Fado de Coimbra (Coimbra Guitar and Fado Museum) – located at the Torre de Anto (Anto Tower)

St. Michael's Chapel 1 day in Coimbra

Popular are the artisanal Coimbra ceramics for your window shopping, and delighting in the 12 string guitar of Fado music at a local café or Fado venue.

Coimbra restaurants and bars are also plentiful within the city center which makes exploring Coimbra at night easy by foot.

Popular locations for shops, dining and entertainment are on and around the Praça 8 de Maio, Praça do Comercio, and along the Rua da Sofia and Rua Visc. da Luz pedestrian street.

Rua Visc. da Luz on 1 day inCoimbra pedestrian street

You can’t go wrong making a stop at the popular Café da Santa Cruz , for light dining, drinks and Fado. Stop to refresh yourself with a dry (white) port spritzer after a long day of walking. Yummy!

This popular Coimbra café also offers 2 daily shows of Fado performances at 6pm and 10pm. Get there early for a seat.

Dinner and drinks at Café da Santa Cruz Coimbira

Coimbra Travel Tip

Bring cash to Coimbra. Of all of the towns I’ve visited in Europe, I’ve never experienced a town where so many establishments would not take credit cards. Coimbra wiped me out of my cash.

Ask prior to any purchase, from gift buying to eating in Coimbra, if they take credit cards. Even then, still be prepared to pay with cash.

Café da Santa Cruz for 1 day in Coimbra

Avoid using single-use plastics when dining, shopping or on food tour in Coimbra to reduce plastic waste and your carbon footprint by bringing your own reusable collapsible shopping bags , collapsible water bottle , recycled plastic water bottle carry sling , and bamboo travel utensils so you’re prepared to travel with the planet in mind.

I always travel with the above items. Light weight and taking up very little space in my carry-on bags , I love the convenience and peace of mind these inexpensive, eco-friendly products provide.

Now that you’re prepared for Coimbra solo travel, let’s get you out to do some top sightseeing on your 1 day in Coimbra.

Whether you choose a day trip to Coimbra or stay overnight, I recommend arriving Coimbra in the morning so you can be out in the city center in time to enjoy this one day Coimbra itinerary.

After checking into (or checking your bags) my suggested hotel (Hotel Oslo) , put on your walking shoes, because you’ll be seeing and doing in Coimbra alone in one day:

  • May 8th Square
  • Igreja de Santa Cruz
  • Lunch on Rua Visc. da Luz
  • Walk the Rua do Arco Almedina and see Porta de Barbacã, the Torre de Almedina, and Tricana of Coimbra
  • Sé Velha de Coimbra
  • Walk the Rua do Norte
  • The Museu Nacional Machado de Castro
  • Sé Nova de Coimbra
  • The University of Coimbra: Royal Palace, St. Michael’s Chapel, and the Joanina Library
  • The Arcos do Jardim do Aqueduto de São Sebastião
  • The University Botanical Gardens
  • Hotel break, freshen up for dinner
  • Dinner in Coimbra city center
  • Fado music at Café da Santa Cruz

Sé Velha – Coimbra cloister on 1 day in Coimbra

After breakfast on your check out day, wait to check out or leave your bags at the hotel and try to do one or two of these across the Ponte de Santa Clara before departing Coimbra:

  • Walk the Ecovia do Mondego for views of Coimbra
  • Museu do Mosteiro de Santa Clara a Velha
  • Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Nova
  • Portugal dos Pequenitos
