Currently in Lisbon and contemplating a trip to Porto? Have you considered your mode of transport from Lisbon to the ‘undefeated city’, as Porto’s residents fondly call it! Are you aware of one of Portugal’s most breathtaking areas situated right between Lisbon and Porto? Turn your commute into a memorable journey by exploring some locales in central Portugal and experience the diverse cultures within the same country.
At a distance of 255 km from Lisbon lies Aveiro. A visit to Aveiro is like taking a plunge into the heart of central Portugal. Originating in the 15th century, when the coastline receded leaving behind sandy areas over eleven thousand hectares, forming a lagoon, the ‘Ria’ of Aveiro was born. Presently, it has evolved into a sophisticated network of canals and islands, earning Aveiro the moniker of ‘the Venice of Portugal’.
Resume your journey and proceed towards Ílhavo, and before reaching your Porto hotel, take a detour to visit Costa Nova.
