Aveiro is a pleasant city in Portugal that stands out for its relaxed pace and affordability compared to larger cities like Porto. It's often likened to Venice or Amsterdam due to its canals and narrow houses, though many locals feel these comparisons aren't necessary. The city offers a unique charm of its own, with a youthful atmosphere brought by its university population and a vibrant nightlife scene. It's an ideal city for cycling, thanks to very flat terrain and good infrastructure. Aveiro also hasn’t been overtaken by mass tourism yet, which maintains its authenticity. The beach at Costa Nova is nearby and adds to the appeal. Food lovers will enjoy local specialties like Ovos moles, offered in various cafes and bakeries across the city. The people are friendly and welcoming, though many locals speak limited English, which may present some communication challenges. Despite that, the overall experience of living in Aveiro is highly positive—offering a mix of culture, leisure, and affordability in a laid-back coastal setting.

AI-generated summary of reviews 7 months ago
Aveiro is a place that hasn't been ruined by tourism yet. The city is full of young people, thanks to its university and vibrant nightlife. Many people compare Aveiro to Venice, but it's more like Amsterdam, with its narrow houses and canals lined with bars and lively spots. The comparisons to Amsterdam or Venice likely arise because Aveiro is still relatively unknown... ones the city is better known, it will not be needed to compare it any more. Living in Aveiro is quite pleasant—it’s less stressful and expensive than Porto, yet it offers the benefits of city life in Portugal right at your doorstep, with the added bonus of the nearby beach, Costa Nova.

Aveiro is regarded as Portuguese Venice and Salt City. Here is the perfect Portuguese city to ride a bicycle as the road is super even. Many good bakeries and cafes sell famous Ovos moles, the Portuguese famous egg yolk desserts. People are very friendly but the majority with limited English.

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.
The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
