Description:

Uncover the captivating charm of Portugal's northern coast on this half-day guided tour. Often referred to as the “Venice of Portugal,” Aveiro is a small town boasting winding canals and quaint whitewashed houses. Learn about its history and culture from your guide, and even visit Costa Nova.

Your tour begins with a scenic drive as you head south to Aveiro, a coastal town which boasts a prominent central canal lined with moliceiro (traditional canal boats) and charming fishermen's houses. Absorb the rich maritime heritage of delightful bridges and enchanting pathways as you're taken to the charming Old Quarter. Wander through meandering streets and pass by notable landmarks, including the Cathedral of Aveiro and the Church of St. John the Evangelist.

Aveiro is also renowned for its stunning beaches and picturesque coastline. After exploring the city's history and culture, make a stop at the Costa Nova beach, where you can admire the vast expanse of golden sand and blue water. Also, take note of the palheiros—pretty wooden houses painted in candy stripes—which give Costa Nova a distinctive, colorful quality, adding character to the whole area.
