Before I went to Aveiro I red that it was "The Venice" of Portugal. That wasn't good... Because when I went there I had so high expactations, I was looking forward to see another beautiful town, with lots of canales, and nice buildings. The thruth, according to me, is that Aveiro is a really nice town, calm and with some things to see. But... it's not a "Venice". There are just two canales, no bridges (well, except for the one outside the center of the town, which was supposed to be amazing, but instead was anything else than that...). Except for these two canales, which was nice, but nothing special, I couldn't find anything in Aveiro that made me think of Venice.
So, when you're going there; see it as a new town, don't compare it to Venice or anywhere else - and you'll be pleased with you visit! |

global84 Wed Aug 16, 2006 16:39 UTC Yeah, Aveiro is Aveiro, and Venice is Venice. I have been to both places, but I was disappointed by Venice a lot. Anyway, hope you enjoyed Aveiro though; check out my Aveiro page for pictures and stuff! | Marpessa Thu Feb 9, 2006 23:31 UTC Hey, great page on Aveiro - even though it's not Venice :) Love the photo of the church in your travelogue - such beautiful blues! :) | Jim_Eliason Sat Nov 19, 2005 03:19 UTC great pics. Seems like everywhere with a canal is the Venice of xxx. | BeatChick Mon Dec 27, 2004 00:47 UTC For a place that was slightly disappointing you sure took some GREAT photos!! |
