Porto (Portugal) is located on the banks of the Douro River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The city has a huge number of attractions, architectural masterpieces, ancient streets coexist with wide, spacious avenues, and ancient buildings coexist peacefully next to modern buildings. Many travelers note the amazing cleanliness of the streets, despite the large influx of tourists and vacationers.

Porto is the administrative center of the region of the same name. After the capital of Portugal, the city is the second largest in the country and is an industrial center. Porto is home to the largest companies in the country. In addition, the city occupies a key place not only in the economy of Portugal, but of the whole world - it is an entry in the list of alpha cities that play an important role in the culture, economy and politics of the entire planet. The population of Porto is 214 thousand people.

The city is shrouded in melodic music that flows from the windows of numerous cafes and restaurants. It is best to get acquainted with the real Portuguese flavor and incredible atmosphere at the local market, where there is a rush. Another iconic place for the inhabitants of Porto is the Dragau Stadium, where the Porto football club plays matches. We can say with confidence that there is not a single person indifferent to football among the population of the city. During the match, chants are heard at the stadium, the unceasing rumble of the fans.
Porto is one of the most ancient cities in Europe. The first inhabitants settled here in the 3rd century BC. e. In the past, the city was the capital of Portugal, and today it is called the capital of port wine.The historical part of the city, on the territory of which people have lived since the 4th century, is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city center is called granite and monumental.

Aveiro is a city in the northwest of Portugal in the Beira Litoral region. Known for Art Nouveau architecture, canals and bridges, and colorful boats that look like Venetian gondolas. Therefore, Aveiro is often called the "Portuguese Venice", although this comparison, of course, is clearly exaggerated. This is a quirky and wonderful city that makes for a great day trip from Porto.
Delightful traditional boats "Moliceiros" are painted in bright colors. The drawings on them depict scenes from the life and history of the city. These boats were previously used to collect seaweed. Now they are ridden by tourists. Aveiro is located 220 km north of Lisbon and 58 km south of Porto. The city is located a few kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean and is a seaport. Aveiro has a humid Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters. November, December and January are the rainy season.
The coast of Aveiro is famous for its stunning sandy beaches: San Jacinto, Barra and Costa Nova.

Aveiro was first mentioned in 959 under the name Aviarium. For a long time the city was an important economic link in salt production and commercial shipping. Later, Aveiro was captured by the Moors, who held it until the 11th century.

Aveiro is considered one of the most picturesque and romantic cities in Portugal, with its main attraction being its labyrinth of canals filled with colorful boats.
Along the main canal in the city center is a series of buildings with façades inspired by the Art Nouveau period. Vivid colors mixed with smooth, curved lines and wrought-iron inserts give Aveiro a special charm.
