We've compiled the best of the best in Ovar - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
Ovar is a veritable open-air art gallery of azulejo tiles, and the city's Rua do Azulejo (literally, "Street of Tiles") is a guided route by the Atelier for the Conservation and Restoration of Tiles (ACRA), leading to some of the city's most notable examples of the distinctive style. The tourist office can provide information about start times, locations, and themed events, such as tile painting.
The exterior of this late-17th-century church is completely covered with blue-and-white azulejos. Inside, seven altarpieces span four centuries, crowned by a magnificent Rococo main altarpiece.
