There is a video screen showing a short video of the stern of the ship rocking with the waves. You have to stand when watching this big screen which makes you feel like you are on the ship. I think I wanted to be lazy and not stand with the big screen there though lol. If you're from the Philadelphia area, look for the bell and pretend you want to give it a crack! (Rolls eyes) These places tend not to be handicap accessible and here is no exception. You also get a glimpse of how people might live on a ship. There are similar ships you can tour in the US with these kind of things to tour if you have already seen things like the captain's quarters, ship gear, kitchen galley, etc. So if you need to maximize your time, skip all this other stuff.

Really cool ambiance. Really worth going for a shisha…read more Prices are ok nice Gin and good service.

This little museum is so unsuspecting... it packs a really big religious and art history punch!…read more Most of the museum is based on the life of Santa Joana, who was a princess-turned-saint and inspired many artists to capture moments throughout her glorified life. The old convent has such a great feel to it, and the baroque-style church housed within is a serious showstopper. You can even walk up onto the altar! Almost nothing in this museum is roped off or barricaded, which is something I've never seen before with things that hold this much historic value. It really heightens the experience. It was one of the highlights of my time in Portugal, and I could not be happier I visited, also for the low low cost of 5 Euro! Whaaaaaaat? The only thing I'd mention that I was not a fan of is the custom merch in the little gift shop. It's very "cutesy" and child-like; seriously odd. Don't miss this if you are in Aveiro - a must see!!!

A renowned organic winery making exceptional wines in the acclaimed DAO region. Located in a tiny…read morevillage of less than 150 people this place is worth seeking out. After venturing out from town by car to explore a couple of their vineyards, some of which were recently replanted after being impacted by the extensive fires that swept the area in 2017, we walked through the small winery to see how things were done. It was harvest time so the place had that great fall winery smell and there were tanks of juice starting their fermenting process. The leisurely tasting was conducted on a picnic table in the shade of an ancient lemon tree just steps from the winery. Like so many of the artisan places, don't expect some Napa-styled tasting room, instead plan for delicious wines made with great care. Over the course of an hour or so we tasted through their wonderful collection starting with whites and a fruity rose then continuing on to some special reds. We enjoyed all of the wines. To make things even better, the winemaker had set out some very local cheese and meats that paired beautifully with the wines. Wonderful and memorable visit. I understand that a couple of the wines are distributed in the U.S. but I wish I could have brought back a case of these treasures.
