The capital of the Aveiro district is Aveiro, often referred to as the "Venice of Portugal". Aveiro is the second most important city in the Central region of Portugal, just after Coimbra, and is a major rail and port hub. During your motorhome holiday in Aveiro, stroll along the canals in the fishermen's quarters and admire the typical colourful boats (moliceiros). Visit the traditional fish market and try the local speciality: ovos moles (soft-boiled eggs).
