The city of Aveiro is crossed by channels, which give it an individual character. In the old quarter of the city, tourists can see the quaint whitewashed houses of the fishermen and visit, early in the morning,
the Mercado do Peixe (Fish Market), where occurs an auction of the fish caught during the night. Of all the boats seen in the area, the "moliceiro" is the most elegant traditional boat, being perfectly lined, painted with bright colours and with often creative and humorous decorations.
The City offers a variety of entertainment including bars, restaurants, night-clubs, cinemas, theatres and concerts and of course there are the thriving Portuguese cafés. If you're looking for history and art, Aveiro has also museums, churches, monuments and public buildings of
architectural importance and the town is very popular for its gastronomy, fairs and exhibitions.
Those who appreciate good food can taste the delicious eel stew and a variety of sea and lagoon fish soups. But Aveiro is specially known for its sweets: the most famous is "ovos moles" (soft eggs), sweetened egg yolk in candied casings shaped like fish or barrels.
