Starting at Rua Gustavo Silva in central Aveiro, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and set off into a city of canals, colour, and centuries of history. No guide, no fixed start time.
Your first stop puts you on the trail of Ovos Moles de Aveiro, the city's most famous culinary creation. These delicate shell-shaped sweets have been made in Aveiro's convents since the 16th century, and the riddles take you into the history behind the recipe.
The route leads next to the Capela de São Gonçalinho, a small hilltop chapel whose walls are entirely covered in 18th-century azulejo panels. Each tile tells a story, and spotting the right ones requires a careful eye.
The tour's final chapter centres on the Passeios de Moliceiro, the traditional flat-bottomed boats that once harvested seaweed from the lagoon. The clues dig into the culture and craft that keeps this tradition alive.
Plan for around 2 hours at a relaxed pace. Aveiro is one of Portugal's most rewarding cities to walk through — and this tour proves exactly why.
