What to visit in Sever do Vouga: the perfect day trip from Aveiro or Porto

Table of contents

Located just 40 minutes by car from Aveiro or 1 hour from Porto, Sever do Vouga may well be one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets. So, throughout this blog post, you will find suggestions of what to visit in Sever do Vouga.

How many days do you need to visit Sever do Vouga?

The list of places to visit in Sever do Vouga is not very long. This way, one day is enough to get to know Sever do Vouga. You can even take advantage of a visit to Aveiro or Porto and visit Sever do Vouga on a day trip.

What is the best time of year to visit Sever do Vouga?

To be very honest, any time of year is a good time to visit Sever do Vouga. Temperatures tend to be relatively mild and very similar to the coastal town of Aveiro, for example. However, if you want to take a dip in the Cabreia Waterfall (one of Sever do Vouga’s main points of interest) or visit the river beach, then I suggest a visit in the summer.

Accommodation in Sever do Vouga

Besides the option of staying in Aveiro (where there are many more options available), you can always opt for one of the more rustic but very pleasant accommodations in Sever do Vouga:

💼 TRAVEL INSURANCE: Unexpected events happen anywhere in the world, so I always recommend getting travel insurance. I regularly use Heymondo, which offers some of the highest coverages on the market at very competitive prices. As well as covering medical expenses, Heymondo’s insurance also covers the loss or theft of luggage, electronic equipment and more. They also have a 24/7 customer service through their App. As A Ticket to Take Off reader, you get a 5% discount when purchasing Heymondo insurance. The purchase must be made using this link, and the price shown on the website already includes the discount.

What to visit in Sever do Vouga?

» Cabreia Waterfall

Cabreia Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Portugal, with a height of 25 metres. The access to get there is easy, making it the perfect option to cool down on hot summer days. And when I say cool off, I mean it, because the water is FREEZING!

In the summer season, the waterfall is quite crowded, so you should take that into consideration when you are planning your visit.

In addition, the waterfall is part of Cabreia Leisure Park, so the space next to the waterfall also has facilities for picnics and ALSO toilets.

» Poço de Santiago Bridge

Over the river Vouga, Poço de Santiago Bridge was built in the early 20th century and is one of the highest stone bridges in Portugal. All the surroundings of the river and the bridge make for some beautiful photo opportunities!

» Quinta do Barco River Beach

And if the temperature allows, why not spend a few hours at Sever do Vouga’s river beach? The water is quite calm, and there is even the option of doing some water sports.
