Overview

During our private tour experience to Aveiro and Costa Nova beach, travelers will embark on a delightful journey through some of the most picturesque and charming destinations in Portugal.
Our journey begins in Aveiro, a quaint city known as the "Venice of Portugal" due to its picturesque canals and colorful boats, the Moliceiros. Here, we'll wander through the narrow streets of the old town, visit the Art Nouveau Museum, and sample the city's traditional sweets, the Ovos Moles.
Next, we'll head to the nearby Costa Nova beach, where travelers will be mesmerized by the beauty of its long sandy beach and the unique striped houses, the Palheiros. We'll have plenty of time to explore the beach, enjoy its refreshing sea breeze and taste the delicious seafood of the region and learn about the local fishing traditions.
Overall, this private tour experience promises to be a delightful blend of culture, history, and natural beauty, providing travelers with unforgettable memories of Portugal.
