Additional Information

Our journey begins in Coimbra, the initial capital of Portugal, which still preserves its historic districts and harbours one of the nation’s time-honoured universities. Recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this bustling scholastic city enables you to wander through its slender lanes and venerable stone fortifications.
Next, we proceed to the so-called Portuguese Venice, Aveiro. True to its sobriquet, Aveiro boasts an estuary permitting delightful excursions on a moliceiro boat. It’s essential to stop in the city to sample the renowned Ovos moles.
Moreover, this tour offers an opportunity to explore Costa Nova, a region praised not only for its favoured position between the sea and the estuary, but most notably for its vibrant striped residences.
