Aveiro, Portugal, is perhaps one of the country’s most unique and inspiring cities, and yet it remains a “hidden gem” that features on surprisingly few travel itineraries for visitors planning their trip to the western flank of the Iberian Peninsula. This is a city quite unlike any other, a place where urban sophistication and modernity meet and merge with the unique marine environment in which Aveiro, Portugal, has its ancient roots. The lucky visitors who make their way here each year will definitely leave with the feeling of having discovered an alternative Portugal that many will never be fortunate enough to experience.

Important notes about transportation in Aveiro
TAXI
The taxi prices may vary in distance, see it at the link provided.
For instance, from Rail-station to the MONTEBELO VISTA ALEGRE Ílhavo Hotel the fee should be around 10-15 €.
BUS
The system of buses in Aveiro is not so reliable as we wish and the timetables are usually not fulfilled. However, Aveiro is a small city and all places are easy to reach walking. There are two bus companies in the city – Moveaveiro (1,90 €) and Urbaveiro (1 €) – in both cases tickets can be purchased inside the buses.
