Often called the "Venice of Portugal," Aveiro is a charming coastal city defined by its serene network of canals. Brightly painted moliceiro boats glide through the water, their prows painted with witty or romantic designs, navigating past Art Nouveau mansions and candy-striped houses. But Aveiro is not just a pretty face; it is a city of flavors. The air here smells of the sea and sugar, specifically the ovos moles —a sweet custard treat wrapped in a thin wafer that is the city's culinary trademark. Whether you are cycling along the flat streets or watching the sunset over the nearby Costa Nova beaches, Aveiro offers a colorful escape from the ordinary. 📍 Save this for your next trip
