Some Portugal coastal towns boast beaches. Aveiro shows off canals.
Nicknamed the “Venice of Portugal,” Aveiro is famous for its colorful moliceiro boats gliding through scenic waterways. The city feels like a watercolor painting brought to life.
Art Nouveau buildings line the canals, striped beach houses create perfect photo opportunities, and the local sweet treat called ovos moles may permanently alter your dessert standards. Visitors often arrive expecting a quick stop and end up staying far longer than planned.
