A moliceiro trip

A unique experience to go on board of a typical moliceiro, traveling the channels of what is considered the Venice of Portugal...

The moliceiro is a vessel that was formerly used to harvest the "moliço" (seaweed that existed in the ria). When this activity disappeared the boats were decorated with fun images and used for tourism.

There are several companies that offer moliceiro's tours of moliceiro through the city - tour lasts about 45 minutes. During the tours you can see the fishermen's houses, the fish warehouses, the salt flats of Aveiro, the historical buildings of the city and the local commerce.
