A worthwhile visit if you have time to go inside.

Very beautiful church in the university area. Sad that everything was full of cars and it was impossible to take a proper photo.

Excellent Cathedral much bigger and brighter than the old one (Vehla). Anyway a place of worship does not distinguish from the other. Heavy baroque style with big wooden carved pieces gilded in gold. Must see cathedral and this does not have entrance fee like the old one. I do not understand why they charge entrance fee for a place of worship, if you feel that you need to donate just do it.

The cathedral itself is fantatic. The guy on the reciption greeted after my entrance asking for 1 euro. I saw the printed note as contributo, asked him why I am forced to pay for donation. He simply didn’t look at and answer me anymore until the money box ringed, his soul was than wake and said Obrigado. If you really want to get money for entrance of the cathedral, simply write entrance fee instead of contributo. There is nothing to feel shame about. But this kind if trick and his whole ugly action in God’s house is disgusting.

Lovely Catholic Church in the heart of the University

Imposing cathedral. Stunning!

Impressive catholic church!

Lovely cathedral.

At top of a hill, not far from the university compound, the new cathedral of Coimbra is richly decorated in the fashion of the Jesuit baroque. Pay a small price ticket to visit it

Not really that new as it dates from the 17th century! A lovely building explore inside and out

Beautiful as *hundreds* of other places in old Europe.

Mixed feelings about the cathedral. Entrance fee of 1euro. Well preserved. Additional feats if you pay (50cents to have some chapels illuminated). Worth if you have time in Coimbra. Museum part inside the church. Raise your head to check the sculptures.

The Se Nova Cathedral - the New Cathedral stands very close to the University square on the Coimbra hilltop. It dates back to 17c being much younger than the old Se down the hill from 12 c. Beautiful Baroque facade hides magnificent lavish interiors like in most Portuguese churches. There's an entry fee (they call it donation) of 1 Euro - symbolic, but inappropriate imo - let the people decide if to give, religious places should be free for everyone. Pro TIP: right from the entrance turn left where you'll find the ticket booth for the Coimbra University. This will spare you double walking from the University square and back, as there're no tickets sold at the square.

Nova Sé is a very impressive building on the inside, each wall containing lots of work worth admiring. It's definitely not a place to just go inside and take photos of, even if you feel no spiritual connection to it. Take your time to appreciate the detail in the artwork found all around the church, and be glad someone else created this and others preserved it so you could come and see!

Nice view from outside but inside lacks history and beauty compared to other historic places in the city

I got deeply surprised by the unique architecture of this fantastic historical place. I highly recommend this beautifully constructed church to anyone who is interested in visiting historical attractions.

"New" church from 16th century, lovely but not a real attraction for tourists. 1€ contribution per visitor.

Beautiful church, however everything inside is a money making opportunity. If you want lights turned on to see displays, you have to pay, if you want to light a candle, you have to pay. While the displays are beautiful it did seem like it had been commercialized.
