Aveiro boasts a unique natural and urban landscape, dominated by the Ria de Aveiro and the streams that penetrate the urban space and have permanently marked the local history, heritage, culture, and identity. Aboard one of the typical boats, including the Moliceiro boat, take the opportunity to explore the city through the canals, which, at sunset, turn from silver to gold with the reflection of the sun's rays. There are other types of tourist transport available that can take you on a longer tour to explore the rest of the city and its main tourist attractions, such as the typical fishing and seafaring neighborhood, the Beira-Mar neighborhood, the old, walled, upscale area of the city, the Alboi neighborhood, the Cais da Fonte Nova, or the University of Aveiro, a true open-air museum of contemporary Portuguese architecture.

Salt mining in the Aveiro region dates back to a time before the Ria de Aveiro itself existed, with the first written document about Aveiro salt production dating back to before the founding of the nation. Over the centuries, the instability of the inlet (isolation from the sea) was a decisive factor in the variation in the number and production of salt pans. This resulted in periods of decline interspersed with periods of great favorability for production. This occurred in 1572, when, given the favorable condition of the inlet and the high and progressive commercial and maritime index, Aveiro became one of the best ports in Portugal, with a significant increase in salt trade and cod fishing. In 1808, the new inlet (an artificial system that allows seawater to enter) was finally opened, a fact of exceptional importance for the future of Aveiro and the entire region.

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.
