If you’re planning to visit Aveiro, one thing is certain: you’ll want to photograph everything.
Between canals, traditional boats, and colorful façades, the city offers the perfect scenery to capture unique moments. Here are 10 must-take photos to save (and share).
A Moliceiro on the Canals
The classic shot that never fails. A colorful moliceiro gliding through the canals is Aveiro’s most iconic image.
Tip: try to capture the reflection of the boat on the water in the late afternoon.
The Colorful Houses of Costa Nova
The striped houses are one of the most photogenic sights in the region.
Located in Costa Nova, they pair perfectly with blue skies and natural light.
Art Nouveau on Rua João Mendonça
Elegant architectural details and decorated façades turn this street into a true artistic backdrop.
Ideal for more urban, personality-filled photos.
Sunset Over the Ria
The Ria de Aveiro at sunset takes on golden and pink tones that completely transform the landscape.
A peaceful and magical moment.
The Salt Pans
White salt mounds contrast beautifully with the sky, creating a minimalist and striking setting.
The Ribbon Bridge
Known for its colorful ribbons, it is a symbol of love and friendship in the city.
Perfect for a romantic or fun photo.
Traditional Ovos Moles
A sweet photo is always a good idea. The typical shapes - shells, fish, or barrels - are part of Aveiro’s identity.
An Aerial View of the Canals
If you have the chance to photograph from a higher viewpoint, you’ll notice the unique layout of the city shaped by water.
The Fish Market
Authentic, traditional, and full of life. A great place to capture the most genuine side of Aveiro.
An Evening Stroll
Whether on foot or by boat, Aveiro at dusk has a soft light that makes any photograph special.
