Aveiro & Costa Nova Half-Day Tour from Porto
About this experience
They don't call Aveiro the "Venice of Portugal" for no reason – book tickets for an Aveiro gondola ride through the canals of this alluring Portuguese city and find out why!
Within a short distance of nearby Porto, your Aveiro day trip starts with a guided tour of the city center, where Art Nouveau design is on full display.
After your city tour, become the main character in a *fado* song and drift on a moliceiro boat cruise through the charming canals of Aveiro. Guided by a local captain, you'll learn about the maritime history of the fishing village and the original use of the moliceiro boat: to collect seaweed to harvest *flor de sal*. After your boat tour, look for a jar of *flor de sal* at the boutique shops in town as a tasty souvenir.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
