About Aveiro

Aveiro, often referred to as the "Venice of Portugal," offers a range of experiences that reflect its unique charm. One of the most notable attractions is the Canals of Aveiro, where you can take a leisurely boat ride on traditional moliceiro boats. This provides a scenic view of the colorful buildings and the city’s waterfront.

Another highlight is the Art Nouveau architecture found throughout the city. Strolling through the streets, you can admire beautifully designed buildings that showcase intricate details and vibrant tiles. The Aveiro Museum, housed in a former convent, presents the history and culture of the region, including exhibits on local crafts and traditions.

For those interested in local cuisine, trying the ovos moles is a must. This traditional sweet, made from egg yolks and sugar, is a specialty of the region and can be found in various pastry shops. The nearby Costa Nova beach is also worth visiting, known for its distinctive striped houses and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a day by the sea.

Exploring the Ria de Aveiro, a lagoon system, offers opportunities for bird watching and enjoying the natural landscape. Additionally, visiting the Mercado do Peixe allows you to experience local life and sample fresh seafood. Whether you prefer cultural experiences, natural beauty, or culinary delights, Aveiro provides a well-rounded glimpse into Portuguese life.
