Aveiro

We arrive in Aveiro after a stop to relax and take a drink or eat. Upon arrival, disembark your vehicle and board a moliceiro, a colorful boat traditionally used to collect seagrass from the Aveiro lagoon. Our driver/guide will lead you to the city’s main sites like Statues on the bridges, Aveiro Cathedral and Costa Nova beach. Aveiro Cathedral, also known as a São Domingos Church, is located in an old Dominican convent and should be on your list of the places to visit and things to do in Aveiro. Costa Nova beach, also know as Costa Nova do Prado, is located on the west coast, 11 km from the Aveiro historic centre. The beach has as its main attraction the beautiful houses painted in a unique way, with vertical and horizontal stripes.
