While browsing the code in PyCharm(community edition) how to go back to the previously browsed section? I am looking for eclipse back button type functionality with Pycharm.

in pycharm you have view in view please make sure that toolbar is checked 
You could use Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow (which is more convenient from my point of view) or clicking arrows as suggested.

Yup. And
Cmd + Alt + Left Arrow on OS X.Ubuntu 16.04 defines Ctrl + Alt + Left as a workspace switch shortcut
Then it does nothing on Pycharm.
So you have to either disable the Ubuntu shortcut with:
- dash
- keyboard
- shortcuts
- navigation
or redefine the PyCharm shortcuts to something else.
Linux distro desktop devs: please make all desktop system wide shortcuts contain the Super key.

Using ubuntu16.04 + PyCharm 2017.2.3
Alt + Left works by defaultCiro Santilli OurBigBook.com
@eplaut hmmm, to me it seems to just go to the tab at the left, not to the previous code location (specially different since Ctrl + click to jump to definition reuses existing tabs).

@sagarr yes, this is also a valid solution, added to the answer.
You can also go to Navigate->Back

Able to enable Forward/Back button on latest pycharm.
Right-click the toolbar and select Add to Main Toolbar and select Back/Forward
