This is one of the most greenest city I've ever seen. The culture and people are really nice and the city is quite safe to travel. Hotels and houses to rent are a bot expensive but food are acceptable. Beaches here are really good especially for friends groups and parties and of course for swimming. In summer is really warm tho..

I went to Aveiro with four friends, we were 5 in total. I could easily say it was one of the nicest places Ive ever seen. People are really friendly, they love to talk to people and their conversations are fun. You can make friends, anytime/anywhere in Aveiro. They make great cocktails and the cocktails are budget friendly! There are less options of vegetarian food compared to other european countries but of course its not impossible. During my 10 days in Aveiro, there was not a night I went back to my hostel before 2am and the city has never felt dangerous to me. We stayed in Pousadas de Juventude, the rooms were kind of small but since we did not pay big attention to where we were staying, it was all fine for us, it was around 15mins by walking to the city.

For me, Aveiro is very safe and I personally never experienced any bad or dangerous experience, but of course, no place is perfect, be cautious is always preferable. You simply need to use the same security measures that you'd take in your city.

Since the city is small, it is really safe and you can walk or travel easily by yourself. People are helpful but in terms of ing. language you may have some problems when you talk to middle age and elderly people because they don't really know English. Besides, the city has really good beaches. You gonna love it.

The city of Aveiro is super calm and peaceful! It's called the Portuguese Venice due to the existing canals. There's no crime at all, and even at night, it's super safe. It has a good climate and good food! The existing public transportation is good.

About me

Hi! I'm Eda, friends call me Mads, I am 20 right now but I'm turning 21 in this August. I'm Turkish however I'll begin to live in Portugal, Aveiro as I'm an international student. I study English Literature and International Relations, second one is my minor. I can speak English, I know A2 German but I'm not confident. I will study Portuguese when I begin to study in Portugal, I'm open any suggestion about learning Portuguese and travelling Portugal. I really like travel and city museums are the first places I go when I travel another city. I aim to visit *nearly* all of Europe countries during my time in Portugal.

About me

Hi, I'm Rita and I'm a 20 years old biology student. I'm a scout (rover) in Portugal. All my life my parents did the max they could to show me the Mediterranean so now I have a soft spot for Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Pompei, Madrid, etc. I speak fluent english, spanish, and I'm learning italian but it's a slow learning because of my biology degree. When I get a job, I'm thinking of staying here in Portugal, but on holidays traveling everywhere. I wanna go back to Spain, Italy and I wanna discover Japan because (it's a funny story with college friends) when I was a freshwoman, an older friend told me I was a lot like Osamu Dazai so now I wanna go see his tomb and getting to know more about how he lived. Anyways, I love traveling and I can't wait to start making new friends :) P.S.: if you have a soft spot for fantasy books written by women, we're gonna get along really well :)
