About the City

City of Leiria

Imagem
The city of Leiria is known for being the Portuguese commercial and industrial epicentre, for its breathtaking natural landscapes, and – obviously – beautiful artistic buildings.
Grown upon the hills and flatlands that flank rivers Lis and Lena, its most iconic spot is the mediaeval Castle of Leiria.
​Portuguese beaches are known for their beauty and charm, but Leiria’s coastline is so diverse and picturesque that it’s impossible not to fall in love with it.
Another colour that dominates Leiria is green. Don’t leave the city without exploring the famous pine forest of Leiria, its mountains, and caves. Finally, do yourself a favour and try our gastronomy!
​Whether you visit Leiria for a weekend break or a day out with your friends or family, you can see world-class sport and culture events, music festivals, museums, and historical sites that attract hundreds of people every year.
Read more about our sports, arts and culture events.
To end your day, enjoy Leiria’s nightlife, at Square Rodrigues Lobo (Praça Rodrigues Lobo) and St Direita (Rua Direita), where you can meet your classmates.
