Aveiro All-in-One City Center Free Tour
Overview of the tour in Aveiro
Ready to have an amazing time? Let's embark on my "Aveiro All-in-One City Center Free Tour" to explore the unique, romantic, salty, and sweet Aveiro city. Some call it the Venice of Portugal, the capital of Art Nouveau in Portugal, or probably the most romantic place in Portugal. Well, there is some truth to it but there is much more than that.
What makes this tour unique is that it's a blend of history, art, devotion, passion, deceit, tragedy, salt, and sweetness. After living my life here and spending several years deeply studying Aveiro and what makes it special, I want to share with you what I've found and what you can't easily see out there.
Our tour takes place in the downtown/old town area where we will see the main places but we will also go a bit beyond that to uncover the non-obvious, thus this is just not a tourist tour. It's something that I hope you can learn more from.
At the end I will provide tailored recommendations for you, depending on your available time and goals, so you can explore, learn, and experience more by yourself!
So, get ready to walk, and don't miss the opportunity to know more beyond the obvious, in a fun, relaxed way.
