Aveiro Exploration

Known as the Venice of Portugal, Aveiro is a coastal town in the Centro region of Portugal that contains a prominent network of canals and bridges.

Travel through these canals in a moliceiro, a colorful boat that is much like a gondola. Bite into an ovos moles, a sweet egg yolk confection, for a delicious example of the region's delicacies. At the vast salinas fields you will discover how salt is mined and learn about the industry's rich history in Aveiro beginning with the Roman salt explorations in 959 A.D.

Drive to the idyllic fishing village of Costa Nova, decorated with lovely striped houses then head to the famous Faro de Barra. This white and red striped lighthouse, opened in 1893, is still active and is one of the tallest lighthouses in Europe. Throughout the tour your guide will share interesting facts and stories about the people, places and traditions of this special city.
