This central positioning means you are just steps away from the main attractions of Aveiro, including the Art Nouveau buildings, the fish market, and the numerous bridges that crisscross the canals. The hotel itself draws its name from Aveiro's iconic moliceiro boats, traditionally used for harvesting seaweed, but now primarily offering scenic canal tours. These colorful, crescent-shaped vessels are a defining symbol of the city.
During your transfer, as we approach Aveiro, you will notice the flat, lagoon-influenced landscape that characterizes this coastal region.
