Aveiro

The closest airport to Aveiro is Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport in Porto (OPO). From there, you can take a direct train or bus to Aveiro, which takes about an hour. Alternatively, you can rent a car and drive, enjoying the scenic routes.

You absolutely must try "ovos moles," a traditional sweet made with egg yolks and sugar, encased in a thin wafer. Also, savor the fresh seafood, especially dishes like caldeirada de enguias (eel stew) and grilled fish, which are local specialties.

Take a boat tour on the canals, visit the Aveiro Museum, explore the beaches of Barra and Costa Nova, and wander through the city center to admire the Art Nouveau architecture. Don't forget to sample the local cuisine and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
