The former hospital ship of the cod fleet is now a museum ship. The entrance fee of €5 per person is absolutely reasonable. For that, you get to see a lot of interesting things. The tour provides a very thorough explanation of life and technology on board. An audio guide is available as a helpful supplement. Much of the interior is still preserved. Absolutely worth seeing.

The former hospital ship is now a museum. The entrance fee (5 euros per person, September 2025) is well worth it. For that, you can walk through the entire ship and get a good impression of the conditions and technology of the time.

At the end of Praia da Liberdade, near the river, stands the monument dedicated to April 25, 1974 (Estátua do 25 de abril or Estátua da Liberdade), a tribute to the people of Viana who fought for freedom. This sculpture by José Rodrigues was inaugurated on April 25, 1999. Beautiful for photos; the fountains create a small water feature show.

The Ponte das Tábuas de Balugães (Bridge of the Tábuas of Balugães) is a discreet jewel on the Portuguese Way to Santiago. It spans the serene Neiva River with an elegant trestle arch and boasts a wealth of history: it was mentioned in documents dating back to 1135, likely still made of wood, as the name suggests. The current stone structure is believed to have emerged around the 16th century. Nearby, a small river beach welcomes locals and travelers from around the world, all with the same goal: to dive in, cool off, and let themselves be carried away by the calm rhythm of the Neiva River's waters.
