Flights to Coimbra
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Coimbra is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Aerodromo Goncalves Lobato (Viseu Airport) (VSE), 73 km (45 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 4,035 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aerodromo Goncalves Lobato (Viseu Airport) (regional) | VSE | 73 km (45 mi) | 4,035 ft | 2,060 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 4,035 ft, VSE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 2,060 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
