- Aveiro - Known as the capital of the Ria, a vast lagoon where the River Vouga’s freshwater meets the sea, Aveiro is crisscrossed by canals, genuine water streets, where the brightly colored boats called barcos moliceiros glide. Founded during the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius’s time, Aveiro is now one of the most fascinating cities on the Portuguese coast. Explore the history of this charming city and savor the traditional pastry, “Ovos Moles.”
- Ria de Aveiro - Enjoy a cruise on Aveiro’s stunning canals aboard a classic Moliceiro (traditional boat). Relax and take in the scenery on this traditional vessel, once used for collecting seagrass in the lagoon.
