Where to stay in Aveiro

Now, let’s get started with my tips for the best Aveiro accommodation. Almost all of these are in the historical centre, which means that if you have a car, you’ll need to check with the property about parking facilities. Aveiro is on the main train line between Lisbon and Porto so you can easily get here by public transport and then walk, cycle (it’s relatively flat) or bus/taxi/Uber to nearby sights.
