Metro Mondego suburban service suspended on Wednesday

The Metro Mondego suburban service between Serpins in Lousã and Portela in Coimbra will be suspended on Wednesday 11 November 2026 due to weather forecasts and safety reasons. Coimbra's municipal emergency plan has been activated, closing courts across the Comarca de Coimbra and banning access to parks, forests, and riverside walkways, while urban metrobus operations will be reassessed late Wednesday morning.

Why it matters

If you use the Metro Mondego suburban service between Lousã, Miranda do Corvo, and Coimbra, it will not run on Wednesday 11 November 2026, and courts as well as public parks in Coimbra will be closed due to severe weather warnings.
