Two iconic cities in one day: canals, tradition and one of Europe’s oldest universities.
A well-balanced experience combining two of Portugal’s most interesting cities.
This full-day experience combines two of Portugal’s most distinctive destinations: Aveiro and Coimbra.
The day begins with a visit to Aveiro, often called the “Venice of Portugal.” Here, you will enjoy a 1-hour shared cruise on a traditional Moliceiro boat, navigating the canals that define the city’s identity. You may also experience the local atmosphere and taste the region’s famous sweet, Ovos Moles.
In the afternoon, the tour continues to Coimbra, a historic university city set on a hillside above the Mondego River. With included tickets, you will explore the University of Coimbra, including the Royal Palace and the iconic Joanina Library, one of the most impressive baroque libraries in Europe.
