Portugal
Aveiro
Dubbed “the Venice of Portugal” because of its canals and gondola-like boats, visitors will find Aveiro has its own unique identity.
About
Established during Roman times, Aveiro served as a major port until a storm raised a sandbar along its coast in the 16th century. The sandbar not only blocked the port, but the resulting stagnant water brought disease and the population was reduced by half within two decades. Today, Aveiro upholds an ancient fishing tradition as well as boasting thriving salt and seaweed industries. Visitors may wander along the canals, making their way to the fish market to enjoy a view of colorful tiled cottages facing each other across the canal. The gonda-like boats to be found there, known as “barcos moliceiros”, are traditional flat-bottomed boats used for fishing and collecting seaweed from the lagoons. It is also worth stepping into the Convento de Jesus to admire its renaissance cloisters and 17th century gilded carvings. Though not exactly Venice, this Portuguese fishing town certainly has a unique charm of its own.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions, here are the answers.
Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time.
