An authentic journey

Additionally, visitors will also be able to explore the Railway Museum through a guided tour.

This journey then continues to Águeda, where passengers will have around two hours to discover the town’s historic centre, admire the vibrant urban art installations of the AgitÁgueda festival and stroll beneath the internationally renowned Umbrella Sky project.

A range of cultural activities and exhibitions will also be taking place across the town during the stop.

The return service is scheduled to arrive back in Aveiro at around 8.07pm.

This initiative is organised through a partnership between CP, Águeda City Council, and the Parish Council of Macinhata do Vouga.
