Highlights
Are you in Lisbon and want to visit Porto? Have you thought about how you are going to travel from Lisbon to the “Invicta city”?, as Porto is called by its people! Did you know that one of the most spectacular regions of Portugal is on the way between Lisbon and Porto? Turn your transfer into an unforgettable experience visiting some locations in the Center of Portugal and discover a country within the country. 255 km from Lisbon you will find Aveiro. Visiting Aveiro is the same as diving in the waters of Centro de Portugal. The Aveiro “Ria” began to form during the 15th century, when the shore line moved back and left behind sandpits along an area of eleven thousand hectares which created a lagoon. Nowadays, it has become a real network of canals and islands which has made Aveiro earn the title of “Portuguese Venice”. Return to the road and head to Ílhavo and before arriving at your hotel in Porto, exit the route and head to Costa Nova.

Itinerary
Avoid the stress of traveling by public transport or a shared tour and choose the comfort and safety in the company of your private guide who will pick you up at your hotel in a comfortable vehicle with the Clean & Safe Seal guarantee. This tour is designed for those who want to get away from the traditional tours and have a more authentic and unique experience. Travel time from Lisbon to Aveiro is approximately 2h30 (254km)
Get on board a moliceiro (tickets not included) and go along the canals of the lagoon which, just like water roads, lead you through the city. On board, see the Art Nouveau houses which decorate the banks or discover their every detail by taking a guided walking tour organized by the City Museum.
When you return to the city centre, you can regain your strength with regional delicacies. If it is almost lunch time, you can try a caldeirada de enguias (eel stew) or a carneiro à lampantana - lampantana lamb (lunch not included). Or, you can get swept away by our regional pastries, in which eggs and sugar are magical, and let ovos moles conquer your taste as if they were little pieces of sweet gold (Ovos Moles tasting included).
At the factory, you should also visit Vista Alegre Historical Museum (tickets not included), the Palace, the Chapel of Our Lady of Penha where you will be dazzled by the wonderful set that lines the inside of the chapel, with eighteenth-century tiles, gilded domes and painted fresh. If you are a fan of the brand or simply enjoy this kind of product, do not miss the visit to the store Outlet Vista Alegre. You will be surprised by the fantastic prices and by the offering of diversity.
In the afternoon, we head out to discover Ílhavo, where you'll find Praia da Costa Nova and let yourself be conquered by this colourful piece of Portuguese coastline. This beach stands out for its wooden houses, painted in white stripes and bright colours, heirs to the old haystacks that served as storage and shelter for the men of the sea.
Now, it's time to go to Porto! You will arrive at your destination carrying the stories you heard through the testimony of your guide, the good mood you felt from the contact of the people from each location you visited and the emotions experienced during this wonderful day that was intended to be just a travel trip, but became an unforgettable experience. Duration of the trip from Ílhavo to Porto is about 80min (80km)

About Lisbon
Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.
The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.
Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
