Fast highlights + a full travel guide to plan Nazaré properly.
Nazaré is one of the most distinctive towns on the Portuguese coast — a fishing town that has become world-famous for the giant waves that break on its shore. A visit divides naturally between the lower town, along the beach, and the clifftop quarter of Sítio, reached by a historic funicular first opened in 1889. Up in Sítio stand the Suberco viewpoint, looking straight down over the town, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré with its medieval legend, and, at the end of the promontory, the sixteenth-century Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo — now a lighthouse and surf museum, and the prime place to watch the big waves of Praia do Norte. These, with the wide main beach below, are described in the guide to the landmarks of Nazaré, each with practical notes on access, timing and what to expect on arrival. A visit, though, is not only a matter of sights. Nazaré is a fishing town, and its food speaks of the sea: the mixed fish stew known as caldeirada à nazarena, the sun-dried fish laid out on racks along the beach — one of the town’s most characteristic sights — grilled sardines, percebes and fresh fish. Where each of these comes from, and how best to try it, is set out in the overview of what to eat in Nazaré. For those staying overnight, the choice of where to base oneself shapes the trip. The options range from seafront hotels facing the main beach to spa hotels a short drive inland; they are compared in the guide to where to stay in Nazaré, with notes on location and character. Most visitors reach Nazaré from Lisbon, a little over an hour away, often as part of a wider tour of central Portugal. Nazaré has no train station, and public transport ties the day to fixed timetables, which is awkward for a town best enjoyed at an unhurried pace. A private transfer with GoToo removes that constraint, as the journey is arranged door to door, at a time that suits the visit. It also makes it straightforward to combine Nazaré with the wider region — the monasteries of Alcobaça and Batalha, the medieval village of Óbidos, or the sanctuary of Fátima — within a comfortable day. However the visit is planned, the guides above go into each part of Nazaré in greater depth.
