Aveiro Tours & Activities | Discover Portugal's Venice

Discover the charm of Portugal’s “Venice of the North”! Aveiro is famous for its beautiful canals, colorful moliceiro boats, and picturesque streets lined with Art Nouveau houses. With a relaxed seaside atmosphere, delicious local cuisine, and unique traditions, Aveiro invites you to explore its genuine character and vibrant culture.

A glimpse into the past

Originally a fishing village, Aveiro grew into an important salt production and trading center in medieval times. Over the centuries, it flourished thanks to its unique lagoon and strategic Atlantic location. The classic moliceiro boats, once used for seaweed harvesting, now offer a window into this rich maritime heritage.

When is the best time to go?

While Aveiro is charming year-round, spring and early autumn offer mild weather and fewer crowds, ideal for sightseeing. Summer is perfect for beach days, but popular spots can get busy. Winters are quieter, giving you the chance to enjoy the city’s peaceful side.

What are the must-do activities?

  • Ride a moliceiro: Glide along the canals and admire the colorful boat designs.
  • Savor local sweets: Don’t miss the famous ovos moles, a traditional egg-yolk treat.
  • Visit Costa Nova: Marvel at the striped beach houses and enjoy the ocean breeze.
  • Stroll along the Art Nouveau route: Discover elegant buildings and architectural gems.
