From Porto: Aveiro, Paiva Walkways, Suspension Bridge and Lunch

Walk in the morning! Difficulty level is easy/medium - a 5km downstream walk! Short description: Go across one of the longest suspension bridges of the world and walk the Paiva Walkways trail! Visit one of the highlights of Portugal: Costa Nova, and Aveiro, the Portuguese Venice! We leave from Porto towards Arouca town where we'll stop shortly for toilets. After a short drive, we'll go across the Suspension Bridge! It spans 516 meters-long across the valley and hangs 175m above the Paiva river! Enjoy an EXCLUSIVE TIME SLOT! Then, you'll walk the Paiva Walkways downhill in a total length of 5km over a wooden boardwalk zig-zagging along the Paiva river. Lunch is another experience! (meat, fish and vegetarian options available) After a power nap in the van, we'll visit Costa Nova and the colorful houses! Time to enjoy Aveiro! Discover the city center on a short walk, free time to discover on your own and opportunity to relax on a boat trip through the canals (optional activity)!

On the Arouca 516 Footbridge are NOT allowed: pets, baby strollers and umbrellas. Is also NOT allowed to cross the bridge in flip-flops, high heels or barefoot. I also advise you to bring comfortable footwear and clothing, sunscreen, sunhat and enough water. In the event of rain, bring a raincoat or a poncho and an umbrella. Alert: arriving at the Walkways, the road gets a bit winding. If you have car motion sickness problems, we advise you to have a tablet or a pill to help with that issue.
