    Hiking

    A beautiful arched bridge over the Canal de São Roque. It provides direct access to the city from the parking lot. It was built in 1953 to replace the original wooden bridge. The bridge is decorated with the coat of arms of the city of Aveiro, whose symbol is the eagle.

    Located on the São Roque canal, the Carcavelos Bridge was built in 1953 to replace the original bridge, which collapsed 11 years earlier. It was a mandatory crossing point for workers on the Sal River.

    It is one of the oldest and most emblematic bridges in Aveiro. It was built over the São Roque canal. Yellow, adorned with balusters and the city's coat of arms (the eagle represents the symbol of Aveiro), the Carcavelos Bridge can be visited during a stroll through the typical Beira-Mar neighborhood or on one of the many boat tours along the estuary.

    Hiking

    The current Ponte dos Carcavelos, also known as Ponte dos Namorados, is one of the many bridges of beautiful architecture that you can enjoy on a boat trip on the Ria de Aveiro.
    The old Carcavelos Bridge over the Canal de S. Roque in Aveiro was simple, rudimentary and not very solid.
    Constructed of wood, it eventually collapsed on September 9, 1942.
