Aveiro Central Canal

Highlight • River

The main canal is teeming with people, as all the traffic routes converge here. The tourist information office and a museum are also located here. The longboats set off from here on their excursions. For around €13-15 you can enjoy a great boat trip and see the place from a different perspective.

Nowadays the slim boats are only used for tourists, in the past the fishermen used them to fish ... all boats are painted very boldly, some really interesting motifs :-).

A Salineira statue, Aveiro

Highlight • Monument

Salineira statue on the bridge overlooking the moliceiro boats. The Salineiras (salt women) were women who worked in the salt pans. Their job was to transport the salt from the boats to the warehouses in wicker baskets that they carried on their heads. They thus made an important contribution to salt production.
