Description

Aveiro is a beautiful coastal city located in central Portugal, known for its picturesque canals and colorful boats called 'moliceiros'. It is often referred to as the 'Venice of Portugal' due to its unique waterways that were historically used for transporting seaweed and other goods.

The city is famous for its Art Nouveau architecture, which can be seen throughout its streets and buildings. Aveiro is also known for its traditional sweets, particularly 'ovos moles', a delicious dessert made from egg yolks and sugar, often found in charming local pastry shops.

Aveiro's vibrant culture is highlighted by various festivals and events held throughout the year, attracting both locals and tourists. The nearby Costa Nova beach, with its iconic striped houses, offers visitors a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying the beautiful Portuguese coastline.
