Photos, information and travel guides for your stay.
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ria de Aveiro lagoon, Aveiro is often called the "Venice of Portugal" due to its network of canals and colorful boats known as moliceiros. These boats were once used to harvest seaweed from the lagoon, but now they serve as a popular tourist attraction and a unique way to explore the town.
In addition to its canals, Aveiro is also known for its art nouveau architecture, particularly the elegant buildings that line the main avenue of Avenida Dr. Lourenço Peixinho. Take a stroll down this street and you'll see stunning examples of this style, such as the Casa Major Pessoa and the Hotel As Américas.
Foodies won't want to miss the chance to sample the local cuisine, which includes specialties like ovos moles (sweet egg yolk pastries) and caldeirada de enguias (eel stew). You can find these dishes and more at the Mercado do Peixe, the town's fish market that also sells fresh seafood caught in the nearby waters.
