Hiking

The Farol de Aveiro (also known as da Barra) is over 60 meters high, making it the sixth tallest lighthouse in the world. Every Wednesday, the first 50 visitors are allowed to ascend the tower. Therefore, there are often long lines of people in front of the tower on Wednesdays.

Hiking

A beautiful open square with a large roundabout. From here, you can walk to Velha Beach or enjoy a delicious meal at one of the nearby restaurants. The Praia do Farol restaurant is highly recommended.
