Driving
Driving southward on A1 motorway, exit at “Aveiro (A25)” and proceed. There are then two exits to the city: “Aveiro Norte” (North exit) and, a few miles ahead, “Aveiro”. If you’re heading for the University of Aveiro, the latter is advisable (see City map) and you will arrive to a roundabout where you should take the direction “Universidade de Aveiro”, then turn right at the traffic lights. You will find yourself in “Rua da Pêga”, located between the University and Ria de Aveiro (see the map of Campus de Santiago).
Driving northward on A1 motorway, exit at “Aveiro-Sul | Águeda” (exit 15) and then drive along EN235 following “Aveiro” indications until you reach the university campus, which you will see as you enter in the city on your left-hand side.
