Have a half day tour in Aveiro, the city famous for the traditional Moliceiro boats and known as the “Venice of Portugal”. Come with us and discover why!
The day starts with a guided tour of the historic centre of the city. Aveiro truly is a special city: where the old and the modern are combined in an impressive way. Admire the charming residences and the streets enchanted with some Art Nouveau details. Did you know that Aveiro is a member of the “Réseau Art Nouveau Network” alongside Barcelona, Brussels, Budapest, Glasgow, Helsinki, or Havana?
Also, prepare your cameras and take some pictures of the beautiful Cathedral of Aveiro (in Portuguese, “Sé de Aveiro”). It was founded in 1423, in a Baroque style, and it was declared a National Monument.
As you walk, learn more about the History and traditions of Aveiro: a fishing village, founded on salt production and trade.
The magic of this journey happens in a 45 minutes boat ride on a classic Moliceiro (traditional boat) along the city’s dazzling canals. Relax and enjoy the landscape on this traditional boat, that once was used to collect seagrass in the lagoon.
After this delightful cruise, your guide will show you Costa Nova, a spectacular white sand beach. Discover the famous and colorful fishermen’s houses, typically painted with vertical stripes.
