Best option to purchase Monero

Hi all, I'm a beginner here and wondering where to buy Monero. And possibly some other coins. Back in the day I had a Coinbase account but not sure if that's a good option, or if there's a better one out there. And does Coinbase work as a wallet? Or is there a wallet that's recommended? Again, sorry for what are probably rookie questions, but I'd appreciate any info y'all can provide. 🙏
