What you can expect

Experience the charm of Aveiro, a city shaped by water, tradition, and light. Often called the “Venice of Portugal,” Aveiro enchants visitors with its canals, colourful boats, and elegant Art Nouveau façades that reflect its rich maritime past.

Begin by discovering Costa Nova, a picturesque seaside neighbourhood known for its iconic striped wooden houses. Once simple fishermen’s storage huts, these vibrant buildings now create one of Portugal’s most photogenic coastal scenes. Stroll along the beach, breathe in the Atlantic air, and enjoy the relaxed rhythm of this charming fishing community.

Back in Aveiro, immerse yourself in the city’s unique atmosphere. A traditional Moliceiro boat cruise (optional) offers a gentle journey through the canals, revealing the city from a different perspective. These slender, brightly painted boats were once used to collect seaweed from the lagoon and today are a proud symbol of local heritage.

Wander through the historic centre, where Art Nouveau architecture, lively squares, and traditional shops create a delightful mix of elegance and authenticity. Discover the city’s connection to salt production and fishing, and learn why Aveiro is part of the prestigious Réseau Art Nouveau Network, alongside cities such as Barcelona, Brussels, and Budapest.

Enjoy free time to savour local gastronomy, including the famous ovos moles, a delicate sweet made from egg yolks and sugar, wrapped in thin wafer shaped like maritime symbols.

The experience continues inland to Válega, where the extraordinary Igreja de Válega captures attention with its façade entirely covered in traditional azulejos, portraying religious and historical scenes in vivid blue tones.

Finally, feel the power of the Atlantic at the Capela do Senhor da Pedra in Miramar. Built directly on coastal rocks, this rare hexagonal 17th-century chapel stands as a symbol of devotion and harmony between faith and nature. Surrounded by ocean views and dramatic scenery, it offers a memorable and contemplative end to this immersive journey through Portugal’s coastal heritage.
