Tricana de Aveiro

Aveiro


A good budget choice, this handsome art nouveau guesthouse is opposite the old train station, about a 15-minute walk from the centre. The owners, who also run the ground-floor pastelaria (pastry and cake shop), have fixed up the bright, high-ceilinged rooms simply but tastefully. No credit cards and no English spoken.
