Set Sail in Portugal’s Picturesque Canal City

Begin your journey at the heart of Aveiro, a city often called the Venice of Portugal. Here old-world charm fuses with modern style across Art Nouveau buildings, scenic canals and bustling markets. A local expert joins you, offering unique insights into Aveiro’s commercial traditions and seafaring spirit.

Admire Art and Architecture

Stroll through graceful downtown streets dotted with colourful façades and intricate ironwork.

Pause to marvel at municipal squares and lively commerce still rooted in fishing heritage.

Moliceiro Boat Adventure

Step aboard a traditional Moliceiro boat for a 45-minute journey along the city’s historic canals. Once used for harvesting lagoon seagrass, these flat-bottomed boats now offer a unique, relaxing way to view the city and its waterside gems. Watch as modern life and historic settings coexist, and spot vibrant boats gliding past fishermen’s docks and market stalls. Your guide will share stories about Aveiro’s maritime connections and the evolution of canal life.

Costa Nova's Striped Charm

Head next to the famed Costa Nova district, renowned for its colourful stripy cottages. These iconic fishermen’s houses, beautifully painted in vertical reds, blues and yellows, line the white sandy beach. Capture photos of the Atlantic coastline and the boardwalk stretching to the waves. Enjoy the relaxed beachside ambience and learn how fishing traditions left a mark on local architecture and culture.

Throughout your journey, discover Aveiro’s celebrated sweets, especially ‘ovos moles’—a beloved local confection made from egg yolks and sugar. Get tips on where to sample these special treats, and hear how local heritage is reflected in culinary traditions and festive customs.
