Overview

Walk in the morning! Difficulty level is easy/medium - a 5km downstream walk!

Short description: Go across one of the longest suspension bridges of the world and walk the Paiva Walkways trail! Visit one of the highlights of Portugal: Costa Nova, and Aveiro, the Portuguese Venice!

We leave from Porto towards Arouca town where we'll stop shortly for toilets.

After a short drive, we'll go across the Suspension Bridge! It spans 516 meters-long across the valley and hangs 175m above the Paiva river! Enjoy an EXCLUSIVE TIME SLOT!

Then, you'll walk the Paiva Walkways downhill in a total length of 5km over a wooden boardwalk zig-zagging along the Paiva river.

Lunch is another experience! (meat, fish and vegetarian options available)

After a power nap in the van, we'll visit Costa Nova and the colorful houses!

Time to enjoy Aveiro! Discover the city center on a short walk, free time to discover on your own and opportunity to relax on a boat trip through the canals (optional activity)!

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on From Porto: Aveiro, Paiva Walkways, Suspension Bridge and Lunch?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
