About this activity

We will take you to the place where the world record for the biggest-ever surfed wave was broken- several times! It's a Meca for adventurous surfers all around the world. You will visit the Surf Museum, at the São Miguel de Arcanjo Fort, the Nazaré Sanctuary, and the Memory Chapel, and will be able to have a breathtaking views. Last but not least, you will also get to know Nazaré itself, a one-of-a-kind traditional fishing village, its narrow alleys facing the sea, and its old traditions like the “Dry Fish” and the puzzling “sights” of local women wearing their famous seven skirts.

You also explore the most charming medieval town of Óbidos with an experienced and knowledgeable guide who will take you through the history and tales, the streets and alleys, the castle and the churches, the fine art, and (last but not least) the sweet and authentic tastes of this ancient Portuguese land (the famous Ginjinha de Óbidos- on a chocolate cup!). Don't miss this Land of the Queens!

30 min Admission not included

Have you heard about the biggest waves in the world? So its time to visit where they end!
Forte de Sao Miguel

30 min Admission not included

With a mannerist style, the São Miguel Arcanjo Fort began to be built in 1577 by D. Sebastião. In 1644, King D. João IV, the Restorer, ordered its remodeling and enlargement.

With a privileged location, near the Nazaré promontory, it is currently considered the main observation post of the giant waves at Praia do Norte, which turned Nazaré into a world surf reference.

The Fort currently houses the Nazaré Interpretive Center, the Surfer Wall and several periodic expositive contents.
