Field notes
The 'Venice of Portugal' branding is overstated but the lagoon and moliceiros are genuinely scenic. University of Aveiro is the cultural anchor and creates the only real coworking density. 50 minutes by train to Porto, two hours to Lisbon. Same D8 / Schengen rules. Costa Nova (the striped beach houses) is 15 minutes by car — a popular weekend default.
