On this day trip to Aveiro & Costa Nova, we'll explore the beautiful coastal town known as the "Venice of Portugal" and visit one of the best beaches in Portugal.
Day Trip Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet at Calçada de Vandoma, right next to the Cathedral, where we'll hop on a bus and make our way southwards until we find the beautiful coastal town of Aveiro.
After a 45-minute ride, we'll arrive in Aveiro, where we'll enjoy a short walk through the historic center. It's likely you'll succumb to the temptation of their local sweet pastries, "Ovos Moles", a light mix of egg yolk and sugar, usually served inside small rice paper cases molded into the shape of a shell or a fish.
Next, we'll take a 45-minute ride aboard one of the traditional "Moliceiros" boats, similar in design to the Venetian gondolas, making the most of a tranquil and unforgettable day.
We'll then leave Aveiro and head towards Costa Nova, one of the best beaches in Portugal. Costa Nova is a favorite place for many people to practice water sports. We'll stop briefly to admire the scenery and to take impressive pictures of the brightly painted houses.
Finally, we'll return to Porto to finish the tour at Rua de Alexandre Herculano after 4 hours of sightseeing.
