Costa Nova, Aveiro Salt Flats & Moliceiro Cruise

After meeting up at the Jardim do Rossio, we'll start the tour with a ride in a Moliceiro boat through the channels of Aveiro. These low-draft boats are ideal for navigating the narrow channels.

During the crossing, we'll admire the Art Nouveau-style buildings of the old town, complemented by Portuguese tiles found on notable structures like the old railway station of Aveiro.

We'll continue with a panoramic tour of the Salinas de Aveiro. Salt has been a key industry in the city for decades, and you'll learn about its significance.

Next, we'll visit the Costa Nova to explore the beaches of Aveiro, including Praia da Costa Nova with its colorful fishermen's houses, known as palheiros, and Praia do Paredão Barra. At this beach, we'll observe the lighthouse guiding ships along this part of the coast.

You will also have the opportunity to taste the traditional local sweets, called ovos moles.

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