Half Day Aveiro Tour With Moliceiro Cruise

Depart your hotel, setting out for a half-day tour to Aveiro, a town where the old and the modern are combined in an impressive way. Admire the charming residences and the streets enchanted with Art Nouveau details, and ready your camera at the beautiful Cathedral of Aveiro, a prized national monument founded in Baroque style in 1423. As you walk, learn more about the history and traditions of Aveiro: a fishing village, founded on salt production and trade. Despite having only three canals in the city center, Aveiro is charming enough to become a life-long memory for those who visit it, taking on the moniker, the Venice of Portugal. The magic of this journey happens as you join a 45 minute boat ride on the city's dazzling canals in a classic Moliceiro. Relax and enjoy the landscape on this traditional boat, formerly used to collect seagrass in the lagoon.
After this delightful cruise, you'll head to the nearby Costa Nova, a spectacular white sand beach where you can admire picturesque fishermen's houses, traditionally painted with brightly colored accents and vertical stripes. Conclude with a return transfer to Porto.
