About Aveiro
Aveiro has a unique natural and urban landscape, dominated by the “Ria de Aveiro” (estuary) and the water arms that penetrate the urban space and which have permanently marked the history, heritage, culture and local identity. It is known as the “Venice of Portugal”.
On board one of the typical boats, where the “Moliceiro” boat stands out, take the opportunity to discover the city through the canals and their salt flats that, at sunset, turn from silver to gold with the reflection of the sun’s rays.
At 7km from Aveiro there are also the delightful beach resorts, such as “Costa Nova”, which is famed for its striped beach houses, and “Barra”, which has the second largest lighthouse in Europe.
If it is almost lunch time, you can try a “Caldeirada de Enguias” (eel stew), or a “Carneiro à Lampantana” (lampantana lamb), or “Bacalhau à Lagareiro” (grilled codfish), or “Leitão à bairrada” (suckling pig). Or, you can get swept away by our regional pastries, in which eggs and sugar are magical, and let ovos moles conquer your taste as if they were little pieces of sweet gold.
