What to expect

  1. Nazare
    2h
    Nazaré is a coastal resort north of Lisbon and an increasingly popular destination among surfers and tourists.
  2. Forte de Sao Miguel
    1h · Admission ticket included
    At the western tip of the Sítio headland is the Farol da Nazaré lighthouse and the Miguel Arcanjo Fort. This area is all about extreme surfing and the Praia do Norte waves. Inside the fort are informative exhibits about the surfing culture of the region, and including surfboards and pictures of the extreme surfing.
  3. O Sitio
    40m · Admission ticket included
    The village of Sítio da Nazaré and the Sítio headland contain the prominent tourist attractions of Nazaré, and is the area to explore on a day trip. Sítio da Nazaré is located at the top of Monte Sítio and the village has a pretty historic centre along with wonderful views of the coastline.

    At the centre of Sítio is the grand baroque Igreja Nossa Senhora da Nazaré church, which houses an ancient statue of the Virgin Mary. This small statue is unique, as it is a Black Madonna feeding baby Jesus. The statue is believed to have been carved in Nazareth (Israel), and its arrival in Nazaré (Portugal) gave the town its name.
  4. Nazare
    1h
    Nazare is one of the finest beach resorts in Portugal, and is an outstanding destination for a holiday. The town is situated on a wide bay of golden sands and stands in the shadow of the towering Sítio headland. Historically, this headland provided shelter for the fishing fleet and the boats were moored high up on the sands, safe from the ferocity of the ocean.

    Today, fishing has succumbed to tourism, but Nazaré is proud of its heritage, and the town has lost little of its character. Cobbled streets lead from the beachfront, fishermen’s houses have been converted into stylish hotels, and old women still wear traditional dress.

    In the summer months, Nazare is a bustling and vibrant holiday destination, which attracts a diversity of nationalities and range of ages. The winter draws a wholly different type of tourist, daredevil surfers, who come to surf the colossal waves that break off the Praia do Norte beach.
