Overview

Take this self-guided audio tour and find out why Aveiro is often nicknamed the “Venice of Portugal”. On this walking tour, you'll discover how salt ponds, elaborately painted Moliceiro boats, secret-recipe sweets, and world-famous porcelain give the city its unique flavour. Starting at the famous “I Love Aveiro” steps, you'll wander through streets lined with ceramic-decorated buildings and lively squares while learning about Aveiro's evolution from a salt-producing town to the creative university city it is today. Cross the Ponte dos Laços de Amizade adorned with colourful ribbons, sample the city's famous Ovos Moles sweets created by nuns, visit the Art Nouveau Museum with its intricate stonework. You'll also see the baroque Sé Cathedral, the unique Capela de São Gonçalinho where locals throw sweet bread rolls during festivities, and Portugal's biggest porcelain factory. The tour concludes at the serene Infante Dom Pedro City Park where you can relax by the duck lake.
