Aveiro and Costa Nova Half Day Tour with Cruise from Porto

Enjoy a half-day tour in Aveiro, known as the “Venice of Portugal” for its traditional Moliceiro boats.

Start with a guided tour of the historic center, where old and modern architecture blend beautifully. Admire charming homes and Art Nouveau details. Fun fact: Aveiro is part of the “Réseau Art Nouveau Network,” alongside cities like Barcelona, Brussels and Budapest.

As you stroll, uncover Aveiro's rich history as a fishing village rooted in salt production and trade.

Experience a 45-minute boat ride on a classic Moliceiro (traditional boat) through the city’s stunning canals, relaxing as you take in the scenery.

After the cruise, visit Costa Nova to see the iconic colorful fishermen’s houses with their striking vertical stripes.
