Day Tour from Porto to Aveiro and Costa Nova

Discover the enchanting town of Aveiro, where history and modernity blend seamlessly. Stroll through streets adorned with Art Nouveau architecture and admire the Baroque-style Cathedral of Aveiro, a national monument dating back to 1423. Once a fishing village built on salt production, Aveiro is now known as the "Venice of Portugal," thanks to its picturesque canals. Embark on a 45-minute cruise aboard a traditional Moliceiro boat, once used to collect seagrass. After, visit the nearby Costa Nova, a stunning white sand beach where fishermen's houses are painted in vibrant stripes. Taste the local delicacy, “tripa,” before continuing to the Barra Lighthouse, the tallest in Portugal at 66 meters. On Wednesdays, enjoy panoramic coastal views after climbing its 288 steps. Conclude your tour with a return transfer to Porto.
