Aveiro's Unmissable Charms

Aveiro is defined by its network of canals and the Ria de Aveiro lagoon. This collection highlights the city's maritime and culinary heritage, from the brightly painted moliceiro boats that once gathered seaweed to the active salt pans of the Salinas. Architectural landmarks include the 15th-century Cathedral and the Art Nouveau Museum, while the local confectionery tradition is represented by historic shops specializing in Ovos Moles, a local delicacy made of egg yolks and sugar.
