Aveiro Audio Guided Walking Tour 2h30 and 20 reviews

Salt marshes, moliceiros and canals are the main appeal images associated with Aveiro. And it is thanks to the centuries-old presence of the Ria that they have the merit of existing.

Peaceful canals, an iodine atmosphere and now beautiful lawns to settle on, Aveiro has decidedly everything at his disposal to make our visit a pure moment of serenity.

The Fonte Nova area, where you are walking right now, is considered one of the newest areas of the city. And the modern buildings around you are a good indicator of that.

Aveiro, a small town? It all depends on what! Yeah, to visit it. But to hold a cathedral, that, certainly not. And I wanted to show you that.

If all the attractions on our itinerary are intended to teach you a little more about the destination, it is certainly the one that will do it best.

Since the separation of state and church, obtained at the end of the Salazarist dictatorship in 1976, Portugal is officially a secular state.

In the immediate vicinity of the canals and conveniently located in the historic heart of Aveiro, Praça da República sees locals and tourists pass through its calçada portuguesa soil, characterized by this traditional mosaic of black and white cobblestones.

Coming to Aveiro and not tasting the moles, that is an unforgivable mistake. In comparison, it’s a bit like going to Lisbon and ignoring the pasteis de nata. You get the idea.

What gondolas are in Venice, moliceiros are in Aveiro. In short, a flagship symbol and tourist showcase of the destination.

Before and during your visit to Aveiro, you will never cease to hear that the city has something to remind Venice of from certain angles.

Romantic, historical, colourful, flat or domed, the Aveiro bridges add a personal touch to the crossing of the canals.

Spreading its canals among the houses, like tentacles of water, the Ria is inseparable from Aveiro. It’s simple, without it, the tour itinerary would not look the same at all.

It is there, gracefully laid in the middle of a road in calçada portuguesa, whose mosaic of stones draws waves, that you come face to face with the religious building of the Beira Mar district.

In our tour itinerary, a tour through the Beira Mar district, historic center of Aveiro, is more than fundamental. Within it, or close to it, is the majority of the city's iconic tourist attractions.

Visiting Aveiro really doesn’t take much effort. On the one hand, the city is flat. And that, in Portugal, is a rather rare quality. And by two, she's small.

On the left, right, and even on the Ria, yes, the monuments of Aveiro are everywhere. And at the same time, for this linear building, almost on the surface of the water, it could hardly have been otherwise.

In the historic alleys of Aveiro, it visits, by the canals, it walks and here, by the docks, it buys.

Along the sea and delicately installed on the Ria lagoon area, Aveiro is strongly marked by the presence of water.
