    I hosted a group trip today with 6 friends to Aviero and had the absolute pleasure of working with Paula! She was the best. She was so funny and had an amazing personality that shined throughout the entire workshop. We thoroughly enjoyed learning to make the treats and trying them with her. I cannot recommend her enough when visiting!

    We were only here for a couple of hours but found Aveiro to be a gorgeous place. The title, "The Venice of Portugal", is so appropriate. The walk along the waterway is beautiful. There are numerous opportunities for a water cruise. We found the area to have many great shops and restaurants. If you come here, try and spend at least half a day so you can truly soak up all the Aveiro has to offer.

    The train station’s azulejos have been painstakingly restored and the building radiates, especially when the sun is out. The azulejos themselves are beautiful and tell some of the history of Aveiro. As far as I could tell, you cannot enter the building. The functioning train station is a modern structure and quite a stark contrast. A bit outside the center, I paid 3.90 euros for the ride.

    Open Air shopping mall in classic stone architecture with +70 retail shops and a food court with plenty to choose from. The mall is clean and well-kept. In Aveiro city center, a good spot for parking and near the Ria and other tourist attractions.

    This medium-sized town offers a lot, from boat tours through the canals, historic buildings, culture, and nice food. If you do not feel like taking part in an organised tour, simply stroll through the streets of this vibrant town and soak up the atmosphere.

    We made a detour to visit the library of Alvaro Siza. However, it was Sunday and could not visit the interior but the trip was worthwhile. The architecture is distinguished and vintage Siza. Beautiful proportions, elegant entrance and well thought out construction and details. We were impressed.

    This is an interesting bridge over the canal, covered in ribbons, apparently courting couples, who cross the bridge, tie a ribbon on it.

    The canal runs thru the middle of Aveiro with apartments on both sides and stores and restaurants on the Central Business District (CBD).

    Several interesting bridges that cross it.
