Aveiro Central Canal

Highlight • River

The main canal is teeming with people, as all the traffic routes converge here. The tourist information office and a museum are also located here. The longboats set off from here on their excursions. For around €13-15 you can enjoy a great boat trip and see the place from a different perspective.

Moliceiro Boats on the Canals of Aveiro

Highlight • River

Nowadays the slim boats are only used for tourists, in the past the fishermen used them to fish ... all boats are painted very boldly, some really interesting motifs :-).

Misericórdia Church, Aveiro

Highlight • Religious Site

A beautiful little church decorated with traditional tiles. The small courtyard is also worth a visit. A very atmospheric spot for photos.

Cathedral of Aveiro

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral impresses with its late Baroque facade: the richly decorated portal is framed by a pair of twisted Solomonian columns on each side. In the middle above it is a large, transversely oval window. The central gable is adorned with several snail shapes (spirals or volutes). On cubic stone bases on both sides, there are a total of four turban-like twisted decorative elements. The bell tower (torre siniera) is probably the oldest part of the church. The nave has two opposite pulpits and is accompanied by several side chapels with different designs. On the side walls of the nave, there are pictorial representations made of Azulejo tiles.

On the outside, however, there are no tiles (!!). The "tip" from super-expert Globetrotter: "completely tiled with blue tiles on the outside" is therefore completely wrong, as can be easily seen in the photos! It is incomprehensible that, despite this, 5 hikers find this stupid tip great!! Unfortunately, tips, photos, etc. from such experts are all too often completely wrong or stupid, which severely impairs the quality of the routes!
