Aveiro Adventure: Canals, Salt, Oysters and Striped Shores

Begin your journey with a hotel pick-up, heading to Aveiro, a captivating town where history and modernity blend seamlessly. Wander through streets adorned with Art Nouveau architecture and take in the beauty of the Baroque-style Cathedral of Aveiro, a national monument dating back to 1423.

Discover the artistry of the Marnotos, traditional salt workers, and keep an eye out for local birdlife. Then, visit a nearby oyster farm for a fresh taste of coastal Portugal, with a light snack-style lunch of traditional dishes prepared with products from the Ria de Aveiro region. Next, visit the nearby seaside town known for its charming and unique candy-striped beach houses. Marvel at the vibrant local buildings and discover the history of this picturesque village with your guide.

After this enriching experience, return to Porto.
