Make the Journey Part of Your Trip
Travelling from Porto to São Pedro do Sul does not need to be simply transportation between two destinations.
With optional sightseeing, the journey can combine:
- Medieval Portuguese heritage
- One of Portugal’s most impressive castles
- Canals and traditional boats
- Art Nouveau architecture
- Regional gastronomy
- Central Portugal’s inland landscapes
- The thermal tradition of São Pedro do Sul
Instead of treating the journey as lost travel time, you can use it to discover more of Portugal along the way.
Santa Maria da Feira
Medieval Castle & Portuguese Heritage
Discover Santa Maria da Feira, a historic Portuguese town dominated by one of the country’s most impressive medieval castles.
The Castle of Santa Maria da Feira rises above the town and reflects several centuries of Portuguese military, political and architectural history.
The surrounding historic area provides an attractive setting for a relaxed walk, photography and a shorter cultural stop.
Santa Maria da Feira is particularly suitable for travellers interested in castles, medieval history and Portuguese heritage.
Recommended for: Medieval history · Castles · Portuguese heritage · Architecture · Photography
Suggested stop: 1–1.5 hours
Entrance tickets and attraction admission are not included unless specifically arranged.
Aveiro
Canals, Art Nouveau & Atlantic Character
Discover Aveiro, a distinctive Portuguese city known for its canals, colourful boats and Art Nouveau architecture.
The centre combines waterways, traditional façades, cafés, local gastronomy and a relaxed atmosphere influenced by the nearby Atlantic coast and lagoon.
Aveiro is also closely associated with the traditional ovos moles sweet and provides an attractive contrast to Portugal’s medieval and monumental cities.
Recommended for: Canals · Architecture · Photography · Gastronomy · Traditional cities

Which Sightseeing Stops Can Be Combined?
Both stops combine particularly well.
Santa Maria da Feira + Aveiro

Aveiro then provides a completely different experience with:
