Free Tour: Aveiro’s Art Nouveau and Hidden History
Aveiro is one of the best places in Portugal to admire Art Nouveau architecture, also known as Modernisme in Catalonia, Jugendstil in Germany, Liberty in Italy, or Secession in Vienna and Prague. This unique style, with its flowing floral and plant motifs, graceful ironwork, and colorful tiles, transforms the city into an open-air museum waiting to be explored.
On this walking tour we’llexplore the most iconique buildings of Art Nouveau.
But Aveiro’s story doesn’t end with beautiful façades. As we walk through the city, we’ll trace the path of the old city walls. Did you know Aveiro was once a walled city from the 15th to the 19th century? Sadly, nothing remains of the walls today — but we’ll follow their original line, stopping at key places where they once stood. To bring the past to life, I’ll share vintage photographs, helping you see how Aveiro has transformed over the centuries.
