Aveiro city centre
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, and Havana? Prepare your cameras and take some pictures of the beautiful Cathedral of Aveiro. It was built in 1423 in a Baroque style, and 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
Moliceiro boat ride
The magic of this journey happens in a 45-minute boat ride on a classic Moliceiro (traditional boat) along the city's dazzling canals. Relax and enjoy the landscape on this traditional boat, which was used to collect seagrass in the lagoon
Costa Nova
After this delightful cruise, your guide will show you Costa Nova, a spectacular white sand beach. Discover the famous and colourful fishermen's houses, typically painted with vertical stripes.
