Discover the Essence of This Tour

This private full‑day tour invites you to discover the charm of Aveiro and Costa Nova, starting with a truly unique experience: a visit to an underground museum where sparkling wines, spirits and local beverages rest alongside eight extraordinary art and heritage collections. From archaeology and African ethnography to Zimbabwean sculpture, minerals, fossils, tiles, Caldas ceramics and Indian art, this hidden gem offers a fascinating journey through culture and time.

After a traditional lunch — with the option to taste the region’s famous roasted suckling pig — the tour continues to colourful Aveiro, known as the “Portuguese Venice.” If you wish, enjoy a relaxing 50‑minute moliceiro boat ride through its scenic canals.

The day ends in Costa Nova, home to the iconic striped fishermen’s houses that create one of Portugal’s most photogenic coastal landscapes. You may also choose to include Águeda, especially vibrant in July during the AgitÁgueda festival.

With a private driver, air‑conditioned vehicle, bottled water and local sweets included, this experience blends culture, flavours and coastal beauty into a memorable day.
