DESTINATION INFORMATION
Aveiro is a Portuguese city, and capital of the municipality of Aveiro, in the Centro Region and sub region of Baixo Vouga. It is located 55 km north of Coímbra and has nearly 60,000 inhabitants, almost 80,000 if you include the urban parishes. The city is also known as the “Venice of Portugal”, due to its system of canals that cross the city centre, which adds to its charm and beauty. Enjoy the old quarter of “Beira Mar”, with its traditional Ria houses and salt warehouses. The city remains one of Portugal’s “hidden gems”; a place where urban sophistication and modernity meet and merge with a unique marine environment which is interrupted by the lively university life, making this city a treat for visitors at any time of the year.
Aveiro is less than one hour from Porto airport
