Easy

Discover Aveiro on a private tour from Porto. Enjoy a moliceiro boat ride through its charming canals, taste the famous “ovos moles,” and visit the colorful striped houses of Costa Nova and the iconic lighthouse at Praia da Barra.

Embark on a private journey to Aveiro, often called the “Venice of Portugal,” and enjoy a day of culture, tradition, and seaside charm.

Your tour begins in the Historic Center, with visits to the lively Fish Market and the picturesque Beira-Mar quarter. Then, set sail on a traditional moliceiro boat ride through the city’s scenic canals (arranged with our partner “Aveiro no Coração”).

Take time to stroll through the streets, shop local crafts, and taste Aveiro’s most famous sweet delicacy: the ovos moles. For lunch, we recommend traditional restaurants such as O Bairro (Portuguese specialties) or Mare Cheia (fresh fish and seafood).

In the afternoon, discover the seaside gems: the charming Costa Nova, with its colorful striped houses, and the Praia da Barra, home to Portugal’s tallest lighthouse and a perfect spot for photos and a beach walk.
