In Aveiro, everything happens around its 47 kilometres of water next to the sea. It is the Ria, a silver mirror, which reflects the colour of the moliceiro boats and the Art Noveau houses; it is what makes Aveiro so seductive and unique.

Get on board a moliceiro 8optional) and go along the canals of the lagoon which, just like water roads, lead you through the city. On board, see the Art Nouveau houses which decorate the banks of the Ria.
