What to expect

Get ready to explore the Central Canal of Aveiro aboard our beautiful traditional Moliceiro boat on a private tour. You will enjoy wonderful views of the four main urban canals, as well as passing key points that you can observe from the boat, such as museums, art centres, emblematic buildings, statues and sculptures and architectural and historical sights, as well as being able to appreciate traditional Portuguese buildings and houses along the route. This traditional Moliceiro boat, similar to a Venetian gondola, was once used to transport and collect ‘moliço’, a type of seaweed abundant in the region used as fertiliser.

You will navigate in privacy, accompanied by your loved ones, along the historic Ria de Aveiro. Our expert guide and captain will be on hand throughout the journey to show you the sights and share interesting facts and secrets about the city. The boat has a capacity for 20 passengers, ensuring a cosy yet spacious experience. The traditional design and vibrant colours of the Moliceiro boat add a touch of charm and authenticity to your tour.

This offer is ideal for those who wish to experience Aveiro's historic canals and landmarks from a traditional boat, while learning about the city's architecture, culture, and history from a knowledgeable guide.
