Day Trip to Aveiro, Costa Nova + Senhor da Pedra Church & Boat Trip
Excursion to Aveiro & Boat Trip
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the exit of the São Bento metro station, where we'll get on a bus to leave Porto behind and head towards Aveiro, the canalled city also known as the 'Portuguese Venice'.
After about 50 minutes, we'll arrive at our destination and start a guided tour of Aveiro. On this walking tour, we'll visit the most emblematic places, like the Ponte dos Carcavelos or the Capela de São Gonçalinho, and we will pass by the Museu de Arte Nova.
Next, we'll take a 45-minute ride aboard one of the traditional "Moliceiros" boats, similar in design to the Venetian gondolas. We'll not finish this route through Aveiro without stopping in front of the famous monument of José Estêvão Coelho de Magalhães.
Then, we'll leave you 1.5 hours of free time to have lunch and taste the delicious gastronomy of the north of Portugal. We'll reconvene later to head to Costa Nova, one of the most spectacular beaches in the country, known for the iconic striped houses that line the bay.
Before making our way back to Porto again, we'll visit the Capela do Senhor da Pedra, a church built on the top of a rock on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. We'll learn about the legends that surround this small chapel while we admire the stunning views.
After 8.5 hours of sightseeing, we'll finish the tour by saying our goodbyes at the starting point.
