Overview

Immerse yourself in the region’s beauty and culture on this private tour that combines tradition, art and unique landscapes. We start in Aveiro, the “Portuguese Venice”, where you will board a molicee boat to sail through its canals while the Guide shares curiosities about the city.

Following is a guided tour of the historic centre, exploring the connection to the salines and the elegant Art Nouveau architecture. You will also have free time to taste local cuisine at one of the typical restaurants and taste the famous soft eggs.

In the afternoon, we head to the Costa Nova, famous for its iconic houses with colorful ribs and the peaceful atmosphere by the sea.

The itinerary continues with a visit to the impressive Church of Válega, known for its vibrant tiles and unique facade, and ends in the unique Chapel of the Lord of the Stone, in a unique setting over the Atlantic, perfect for unforgettable photographs.
