About Aveiro:

Roaming through Aveiro is the same as diving in the waters of Center de Portugal. Known as the “Portuguese Venice”, the city is quietly dominated by the Ria de Aveiro, described by Saramago as “a living body that connects the land to the sea like a huge heart.”

Get on board in a moliceiro (the typical boat of Aveiro that makes the transportation of salt) and go along the canals of the lagoon which, just like water roads, lead you through the city. See the Art Nouveau houses which decorate the banks or discover their every detail by taking a guided walking tour organized by the City Museum. If you want to, you can also venture alone on a bike ride with buga, a public service in which you can use bikes borrowed by the municipality for free

You can also save some time visiting the Vista Alegre Factory, where the most international Portuguese porcelain is made.

It’s also possible to go down to Costa Nova and be charmed by this colorful piece of the Portuguese coast. This beach is different because of the wooden houses painted with stripes of white and bright colors which used to be haystacks and shelters for fishermen. Right next to it, at Barra beach, you will find the dominant and imposing Barra Light, the tallest lighthouse in Portugal.

Aveiro has always been linked to sea trade, fishing, and salt production.
