About this experience

Aveiro is known as "The Venice of Portugal" due to the network of canals that invade and give life to the city and where the colorful moliceiro boats circulate. The windows, decorated with the typical sweet “ovosos moles”, invite you to come in and taste this delicacy.

We believe in a quality, punctual and personalized service, in order to guarantee the satisfaction of those who choose us. Our drivers and guides are committed professionals, who excel in friendliness and care.

Itinerary and highlights

With scheduled departure at 9:00 am or 2:00 pm, from your Hotel, the driver and guide will begin the route heading south, to this coastal city, founded on salt production and maritime trade.
Aveiro is surrounded by salt flats, incredible beaches and small lagoons that still preserve the city's fauna, flora and traditions.
On the other hand, in the oldest part, it is still possible to see the original facades of the picturesque colorful houses of the old fishermen, as well as a set of Art Nouveau style pieces that are worth appreciating.
For a different perspective, we suggest a Moliceiro ride along the main channel!

Stroll through its canals aboard a colorful Moliceiro boat, originally used to collect seaweed.
Low side boats to facilitate loading of the moliço. Moliceiros have a very elegant bow and stern that are usually decorated with paintings that ridicule everyday situations.

Let yourself be conquered by the warm simplicity of the fishing spirit of Costa Nova in Aveiro, still so present on its sands, and discover the beach, the town and the history of this region.
Its Fish Market where fish and seafood from the Ria or the Sea delight anyone's eyes.
