Do we always see the same side of the moon, or does it slowly rotate
in relation to our view?

To me, it seems quite a cooincidence that the moon rotates perfectly
such that we see the same side constantly.

Just to add a bit more to what others have said. Although the moon is
tidally locked to the Earth, you can see a little bit of the far side due
to an effect called libration.
