Itinerario

1. From your hotel in Porto, you’re picked up in the morning for the drive to Santa Maria da Feira. The city's most distinctive feature is its castle, built in the 15th century with a design and layout that is unusual amongst Portuguese castles, looking more like something that has been plucked straight out of a book of fairy tales. Short stop in the city center for a coffee/tea and to taste of Fogaça, a kind of sweetened white bread with 500 years of history with a shape that resembles the Feira castle.

2. After Santa Maria da Feira we will proceed to Aveiro city center. The capital of the Ria, Aveiro is intersected by canals, genuine streets of water, along which can be seen gliding the brightly coloured boats known as barcos moliceiros. You will take the Moliceiro cruise in the canals, visit the city center and taste the famous Ovos Moles, an exquisite sweet made from eggs and sugar.

3. Before lunch we will drive around Ria de Aveiro. A vast lagoon where the freshwater of the River Vouga joins with the sea, the diversity of habitats contained within the Ria is the reason for its enormous ecological wealth. The water provides a habitat for a wide variety of birds and fish. The lunch includes several tasting starters, local dishes and desserts. Local white or red wines are served.

4. In the afternoon the tour continues with a visit and walk through Lugar da Vista Alegre, to get to know the Chapel and the Vista Alegre Housing Facilities. The Vista Alegre museum intends to show the factory’s history, the aesthetic evolution of porcelain production and its significance in Portuguese society of the 19th and 20th centuries, through one of the most complete museum collections of that kind.

5. Visit to Costa Nova beach. Towards the end of the 19th century when it became fashionable to bathe in the sea, the local fishermen began to rent out their palheiros in the summer season and the idea then arose to paint the outside panels of Costa Nova wooden houses in bright colours.  Your Aveiro full-day tour ends with return transport to your Porto hotel.

About Porto

Porto scende da ripide colline fino al Douro: città di granito con chiese di azulejos, cantine sul fiume e vino Porto che invecchia di fronte.

Il quartiere della Ribeira costeggia la riva con case colorate, caffè e barche, parte di un centro storico tutelato dall'UNESCO sotto gli archi di ferro del ponte Dom Luís I. Sopra, l'atrio della stazione di São Bento è rivestito di azulejos blu e bianchi, la Torre dei Clérigos si innalza sopra i tetti e la cattedrale, la Sé, sorge sulla sua collina.

Top-ranked sights in Porto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
