During the crossing, we'll admire the Art Nouveau-style buildings of the old town, featuring the iconic Portuguese tiles on monuments like the old railway station of Aveiro.

We'll also take a panoramic tour of the Salinas de Aveiro, learning about the historical significance of salt in the city.

The tour will continue to the famous Costa Nova, including Praia da Costa Nova with its colourful fishermen's houses and Praia do Paredão Barra, where we will observe the lighthouse guiding ships along the coast.

Additionally, there will be an opportunity to taste ovos moles, a traditional local sweet.

The tour in Largo do Rossio will conclude after 2 hours and 15 minutes of exploring Aveiro.
