Did you know that one of Portugal’s most stunning regions lies between Lisbon and Porto? Transform your journey into a memorable adventure by exploring some locations in Central Portugal and uncovering a country within a country.
Located 255 km from Lisbon, Aveiro awaits. Visiting Aveiro is like diving into the waters of Central Portugal. The Aveiro “Ria” began forming in the 15th century when the shoreline receded, leaving behind sandbanks over an area of eleven thousand hectares, creating a lagoon. Today, it has evolved into a true network of canals and islands, earning Aveiro the nickname “Portuguese Venice.”
Continue your journey to Ílhavo, and before reaching your hotel in Porto, take a detour to Costa Nova.
