Mercado Municipal D. Pedro V
A municipal food market in the lower town, with seafood, fruit, cheese, and sausage, and a public lift beside it that takes you straight up to the upper town.
Mercado D. Pedro V is Coimbra's main traditional market. Indoors you will find fish stalls, meat counters, and fruit and vegetable stands, while the second floor has small restaurants. Prices are reasonable, and it is a good place to buy cherries, cheese, sausage, and Portuguese pastries. The public lift beside the market, the Elevador do Mercado, connects to the upper town and saves you the climb. A combined lift and funicular ticket costs about €1–2. The market is closed on Sundays, and the selection is best in the morning.
