Just 40 minutes from Coimbra, Aveiro welcomes you with its unique atmosphere: colorful Moliceiro boats gliding along the canals, charming Art Nouveau buildings from the early 20th century, and cobbled streets leading to the lagoon.

You’ll have free time for lunch (with great recommendations) and a moment to explore local shops at your own pace.

In the afternoon, we head to the Aveiro Lagoon, discovering its traditional salt ponds, and continue to the iconic coastal towns of Barra and Costa Nova, famous for their striped houses and beautiful beaches.

A perfect mix of culture, nature, and seaside charm... ideal for travelers wanting to experience the best of central Portugal in one day!
