Description

Join us for an unforgettable walking tour through Aveiro, an actual open-air museum.

Our journey begins at Praça da República, where we’ll encounter a rich blend of architectural styles, from the 17th century to the 20th century.

Our walk also takes us back in time, as we trace the path of Aveiro’s old city walls. Unfortunatly nothing remains of the old walls but we'll follow their path and stop at key locations where they once stood. To help bring the past to life, I’ll share vintage photographs, giving you a glimpse into how the city has evolved over the centuries.

As we stroll through the city’s streets and canals, we’ll explore one of Aveiro’s most captivating features: its Art Nouveau architecture. Known elsewhere as Moderne Style, Jugendstil, Liberty, or Secession, this elegant style is characterized by flowing, sinuous lines, floral and plant-inspired motifs, graceful ironwork, and colorful tiles.

  • Aveiro Museum
  • Capela de São Gonçalinho

Excellent walking tour of Aveiro. Paula could not have been more informative about Aveiro, she even brought historical pictures to give us more context to what we were seeing. Highly recommend doing the walking tour, if you're able & interested in the history of a place.

Lovely tour around Aveiro with Paula

It was very good time in Aveiro, where during 2h tour with Paula we found out a lot about the city and Portugal, both historical and contemporary. It allowed us to spot the details and facts which we would never see without the guide. Paula was very welcome, answered all our questions, also outside scope of the tour and left us with good recommendations for the rest of our stay. Highly recommend!

We had a very interesting tour with Paula. She is a very likeable person who showed us many sides of Aveiro that we wouldn't have discovered without her. We can highly recommend taking the tour with her!
