Aveiro, affectionately nicknamed “the Portuguese Venice” due to the countless canals that bathe the city. In this city, as well as in its surroundings, there is a strong maritime tradition linked to fishing and also to the products of the estuary, as we can see with the presence of the famous salt pans.

One of the great advantages of a visit to Aveiro is the great ease with which we can move between the various points of interest, since it is a practically flat city and, in a certain way, centralized. Experience the elegance of “Arte Nova”, present on the facades of the city’s buildings, the fantastic mosaic of tiles from the old Railway Station, the contemporary architecture of the University of Aveiro and the Fonte Nova Lake, and even the opportunity to take a stroll along the estuary aboard a “moliceiro”, a colorful and traditional vessel of this region. Finally, a passage through Costa Nova, where the typical houses are the main star, with their colored stripes conveying a summery air.

Here is also the home of Ovos Moles, a sweet made from eggs and sugar that has its origins in the old female convents. You can try them in one of the several patisseries in the city.
