How long to spend in Aveiro?

The historical centre of Aveiro is not very big, so if you want to visit its main points of interest, you can easily do it in just one day. However, I think it makes sense to stay a bit longer to visit other places near the city, such as Costa Nova, for example. That is why I suggest 2 days to visit Aveiro.
