Aveiro “The Venice of Portugal”
The area of Aveiro is more than a conceptual nod to Venice. It’s a light-hearted canal tour, a collection of luminous Art Nouveau architecture and a candy-striped beach town right on the Atlantic. It’s a great way to spend a day soaking in Portugal’s coastal culture — and it’s only 60 minutes from Tiny Escape, making it an easy and rewarding day trip.
Just next door, its sister city Costa Nova brings the ocean to your doorstep — with striped houses, salty air, and endless Atlantic views. Together, these two towns offer a perfect balance of sightseeing and sea-breezy relaxation.
Serra da Estrela: Granite, Greenery, and the Roof of Portugal
We call Portugal home and love it. We have a simple solution when we miss our roots back in Breckinridge Colorado and the splendor of the Rocky Mountains; Serra da Estrella. For us, these mountains are the perfect antidote for homesickness!
Viseu: Portugal’s Timeless Hilltop Haven
Sincerely, Viseu is one of our favorite cities in Portugal. Tucked away in the heart of central Portugal, Viseu quietly steals your heart.
