Aveiro Travel Forum

Greetings fellow travelers!! I am a new member and my wife and I are travelling to Aveiro for a few days in August. We have learned that Aveiro is approximately 80KM from Porto. Will we be able to hire a taxi to take us to Aveiro? Is this common? We will have two large suitecases and the thought of taking the bus or train does not appeal to us. If the option of a taxi is out can we hire a driver in Porto?

Thanks for your help,

Roily

We were just there in October & we took the bus everywhere we went. They have nice buses & the cost is reasonable. Faster then the train & you would be there in approx. 35-40min. Busses run every hour so they are not crowde & your luggage is safe in Portugal. Make sure you have booked a place in Aveiro before you go or you could be looking.

While in Porto take the local bus to Braga & view Bom Jesus de Monte located just north of the city center. You can also take the city bus there. You won't be sorry. And give yourself about 4hrs to view the area. You have to take the tram up the steep hillside from the bus stop but you will have a spectacular view of the city & the Atlantic.Ask at the information stand there for the directions to the lake (which is located up the hill) and also the Church here is a must see. We have travelled from Canada many times to Portugal & always have enjoyed visiting this place. You can find this on our Travel page.
