About This Event
Coimbra's iconic academic celebration marking the end of the university year, one of Portugal's most beloved and distinctive cultural traditions. Students in traditional black capes and ribbons fill the city for a week of fado, processions, concerts and the ceremonial burning of coloured ribbons representing each faculty. The ribbon-burning 'Queima' has been held since 1899 at one of Europe's oldest universities.
