Activity Overview
Are you eager to experience the essence of the Portuguese Venice? Your journey begins at the Cais dos Botirões, where we'll welcome you aboard a traditional moliceiro, which bears a resemblance to the iconic gondolas of Venice. Are you ready to glide along the main canal of Aveiro?
This 45-minute boating experience will unveil captivating views of the alluring Art Nouveau architecture lining the banks. Are you curious about the tales hidden behind each balcony? We will share fascinating stories as we navigate beneath renowned bridges, including the notable Praça General Humberto Delgado.

During the train ride, we will pass by the striking University of Aveiro, a notable 20th-century architectural achievement with an impressive area of 227 acres (92 hectares). Next, we will visit the Cathedral of Aveiro, also recognized as the Church of St. Dominic, distinguished by its Mannerist architectural style and prominent Solomonic columns.
Continuing on, we will encounter the historic Jerónimo Pereira Campos ceramic factory, an exemplar of early 20th-century industrial architecture. Don't miss the enchanting structure of the train station, adorned with traditional Portuguese tiles and a delightful facade in soft blue tones, reflecting local life.
