It all looks a bit too decorated to be a functional library, but it is very impressive. You can only enter with a guide who will be keen to tell you every little detail about the place, tours only take 15-20 minutes. My guide was telling something strange about bats. Ask your guide when you're there. Although it was all very nice I wouldn't call this a must-see. If on the other hand you've got time and another 1,5 euro to spare you can get a combined ticket with the Sala dos Capelos.

The University in Coimbra was the first University ever in Europe and its library is just amazing! It has three parts and there are about 200 000 books in there, most are older than 300 years.... yep, a real must, you see! =)

Nice part of the history of Coimbra and the University.
Indispensable for those who visit Coimbra.
In the Joanine Lybrary you can also see the Academic Prison, books, projects, and older machines.
