City Tour Barra and Costa Nova Beach

Service Description

Have Aveiro in the palm of your hand! Departing in an exclusive vehicle from Aveiro’s Central Canal, where the Moliceiros provide the perfect backdrop, we head towards Praia da Barra, passing by the iconic salt pans. Discover the Barra Lighthouse, the tallest in Portugal! Enjoy the Atlantic breeze next to the beautiful and traditional palheiros of Costa Nova, which paint the landscape with vibrant colors! On the way back to the Portuguese Venice, explore the Santiago University Campus, where national architecture stands out in a unique fusion with the surrounding Ria landscape. After innovation comes history, with the remnants of the ancient city wall separating religious monuments—such as the cathedral and the Aveiro Museum—from the Olarias district, where the impressive Aveiro Congress Center, formerly the Jerónimo Pereira Campos Factory, dominates the scene. We conclude with the beauty and charm of the Art Nouveau buildings in the city center, recalling the French influence of the early 20th century!
