Overview

  • This tour takes you to Aveiro considered by many as the “Venice of Portugal” which is famous for its large network of canals running through the city. In this Tour you will also take a cruise on a “moliceiro” boat (a traditional boat from this city) which will take you along the channels as you admire the city’s unique tile facades. You will also have the opportunity to see the colorful houses in Costa Nova. Aveiro has a rich and varied gastronomy, and the “soft eggs” - a very sweet desert are also one the main representations of Aveiro.
