The “Venice of Portugal”
Just over an hour by train from Porto or Coimbra, Aveiro is the perfect plan for your weekend.
Stroll along the main avenue, taste the typical ovos moles (Sweet eggs) and take a ride on a traditional moliceiro boat. If you're a hiker, you can walk along the walkways bordering the estuary with all the fauna and flora that characterise this landscape.
The best way to get there? By train! Aveiro station is right in the city centre. This is also where the timeless journey aboard the Vouga historical trains leave from.
