If there’s a region that blends nature, flavour, and culture, it’s the Centre of Portugal.

Start along the coast and be amazed by the beaches of Aveiro, where the sea meets the “Portuguese Venice” in a setting of rare beauty – perfect for both sunbathing and water sports.

Just a few kilometres inland, you’ll find the rich gastronomic tradition of Bairrada, home of the unmistakable Leitão à Bairrada – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and always served with the region’s sparkling wine.

And no mention of the area would be complete without Águeda – a vibrant city world-famous for its colourful skies filled with hanging umbrellas, and streets bursting with urban art and cultural energy. A destination where every place has a story, and every dish an authentic flavour – perfect for those looking to discover the best of Portugal off the beaten path.
