The Aveiro City Hall (Câmara Municipal de Aveiro) is an imposing 18th-century Pombaline and Baroque building located in the historic heart of Aveiro, Portugal. It serves as the administrative headquarters for the local municipal government.

Globetrotter's tip is wrong. There are no blue tiles outside. The azulejos are in the church.

Beautiful the old painted fishing boats. Today tourists are ferried through the canals by gondola.

Boat tours on the canal provide insight into the lives of the fishermen and salt production.

In the past, this bridge was used to be used to ask for the hand of the beloved (engagement bridge).

Although the construction history of this impressive church in Gloria (Aveiro) dates back to the 15th century – and thus to the beginning of the "golden" Age of Discovery – it is a relatively young cathedral. Originally a monastery church, it belonged to the convent of the local Dominican Order. The memory of this is still alive today in the patronage. However, it has only served as the cathedral (Se) of the relatively young Diocese of Aveiro for less than 100 years.

Located on the São Roque canal, the Carcavelos Bridge was built in 1953 to replace the original bridge, which collapsed 11 years earlier. It was a mandatory crossing point for workers on the Sal River. It is one of the oldest and most emblematic bridges in Aveiro. It was built over the São Roque canal. Yellow, adorned with balusters and the city's coat of arms (the eagle represents the symbol of Aveiro), the Carcavelos Bridge can be visited during a stroll through the typical Beira-Mar neighborhood or on one of the many boat tours along the estuary.
