The Maritime Museum of Ilhavo

Reviewed By Jorge007007 - Brasilia, Brazil

Very nice museum. We learned so much and understood very well the history of the portuguese people relation with codfish. The codfish aquarium is simple but great. One can learn also about history on boats and fishing boats from Aveiro and Portugal. I recommend visiting.

Museu Vista Alegre

A journey into the world of porcelain… Undergoing renovation works between 2014 and 2016 the Vista Alegre museum intends to show the factory’s history, the aesthetic evolution of porcelain production and its significance in Portuguese society of the 19th and 20th centuries, through one of the most complete museum collections of that kind. Besides the renovated exhibition rooms you may visit, as part of the Museum circuit, the Chapel honouring Nossa Senhora da Penha de França and the Oficina de Pintura Manual [hand painting workshop] of the Fábrica da Vista Alegre, where you will be able to see the delicate ceramic painting.

Navio-Museu Santo Andre

Reviewed By gcn8 - Sydney, Australia

The boat is part of the awesome Maritime Museum in Ilhavo but at a different location. Well worth the visit as you get unrestricted ability to walk all over this former North Sea cid fishing boat. You can see how crew lived and how fish were processed at sea. Very rate opportunity to see a boat like this. Its aboutv10 min in a taxi from centre of Aveiro or close to the Costa Nova bus route.

Praia da Costa Nova

Reviewed By Olivia99413 - Preston, United Kingdom

Our sadly short visit to Costa Nova was with a booked your with Living Tours. Our guide Goncalves was excellent and explained the history of Costa Nova and the Fisherman's Cottages which were absolutely delightful. There was a market on the afternoon we arrived but we only had 30minutes their so a very quick wander. Would have loved to have stayed longer. Definitely worth a visit, again about 45 minutes from Porto and literally five minutes from Aveiro.
