The shopping begins

For breakfast we suggest you go to a cozy cafe with a light and bright atmosphere, Monte Branco, located on the beach. The beautiful view from the window, varied cuisine and responsive staff create an environment that will energize you for the day. You should pay special attention to the fish and seafood dishes.

After breakfast we recommend going to one of the most popular beaches in the city, the Costa Nova do Prado. It is not only clean, but also has a nice traditional landscape with colorful houses, the tallest lighthouse in Portugal and nice white sand. If the weather doesn't permit a beach holiday, you can take a walk along the beach and explore the local sites, like the church or the cultural center.

Lunch at a seafood restaurant is the best solution for those who want to enjoy dishes based on unique recipes of the chef, such as clams in Portuguese sauce, as well as homemade wine. Costa Nova is a popular restaurant, so it is better to reserve a table by specifying whether you would like to sit on the first or the second floor (the second floor offers great views of the picturesque bay).

Vista Alegre was established back in 1824 and was the first porcelain factory in Portugal. Its thorough approach to work led to its popularity and prosperity. The museum Vista Alegre is not just a museum of the history of the company producing porcelain and glassware; it is a whole complex of objects united by a single theme - the connection between the flow of history of the region and the development of the company. There is a chapel, a small theater and a gallery with works from the company's history. There is also a store where you can buy the products you like.

If you want to buy some new items for your closet while traveling, you won't find a better place to do it than Decenio Aveiro. This store shows its customers the excellent value for money of its products. In addition, there are more stores further down this street where it will also be a pleasure to do some shopping.

To relax and refresh yourself in the evening, the best option is a small restaurant, which is a quiet and peaceful rustic establishment with minimalist modern details in the decoration. The menu is also diverse, with the chef serving fish and meat dishes and wonderful desserts. Here you will find soups worth your attention and many cod-based dishes.
Monday: 12:00-15:30, 19:00-23:00 Tuesday-Saturday: 12:00-15:00, 18:30-23:00 Sunday: 12:00-15:00 p.m.

After a busy but well-balanced day, go back to the pause and don't forget that you have an appointment to move to another hotel in Viseu the next day. You will need to pack your bags to move without forgetting any of your purchases. If you need help with the transfer, arrange it with the hotel staff in advance. The next morning, before leaving, it is worth having breakfast at the hotel, so as not to waste time on the way to the cafe and have time to see much more. It's good, isn't it?
