Centro Region Hotels for Your Next Holiday

Why Tourists Visit Centro Region

* Tour the medieval walled town of Óbidos.
* Visit the Baroque libraries and ancient colleges at the University of Coimbra.
* Enjoy skiing or hiking in Serra da Estrela Natural Park.
* Marvel at the Gothic architecture of the Monastery of Alcobaça.
* Experience spiritual serenity at the Fatima Sanctuary.

The Centro Region boasts over 1,800 accommodations ranging from affordable family-run guesthouses to luxurious five-star resorts; primary hotspots include Coimbra, Aveiro, and Fatima. For example, three-star hotels in Coimbra average $70-90 per night, while upscale five-star options like Luz Charming Houses near Fatima start around $170 during peak season. Recent additions, such as Sapientia Boutique Hotel in Coimbra, stand out with their history-inspired designs and rooftop views.

The Centro Region of Portugal is a treasure trove of historical landmarks, picturesque landscapes, and charming towns that appeal to a wide range of travelers.

Key attractions include the medieval Óbidos Castle, the world-renowned University of Coimbra (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the religious Fatima Sanctuary that draws millions of pilgrims annually.

Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Serra da Estrela mountain range, Portugal's highest peak, while gastronomy lovers will enjoy regional delicacies like the iconic Bairrada roast piglet and Serra da Estrela cheese.

Centro Region Tips You Must Know

* Book your accommodation at least 2-3 months in advance if visiting during festivals like the Fatima Pilgrimage in May and October.

* Late spring and early autumn (April-June and September-October) offer the best weather and fewer tourist crowds.

* Public transportation is efficient in cities like Coimbra and Aveiro, but renting a car is recommended for exploring rural attractions like Serra da Estrela.

* Many hotels include breakfast; confirm this when booking to save on morning meals.

* Check cancellation policies as some guesthouses and boutique hotels in rural areas may have stricter booking terms.
