Nazaré Walking Tour

We'll meet at the Peixe Seco Museum to start this guided walking tour of Nazaré, where we'll discover the town and its monuments.

At the Peixe Seco Museum, we'll learn about the importance of fishing in Nazaré and how the ancient technique of drying fish has been fundamental to the local economy.

Then, we'll head through the Nazaré market to the Pederneira Casa Museu do Pescador, where we'll see the fishermen's tools, traditional outfits, and photographs that illustrate the history of this community dedicated to the sea.

Afterwards, we'll visit Casal das Figueiras, take a walk around its gardens, and enjoy the views of the Atlantic.

Our next stop will be the Elevador da Nazaré, a lift that takes us from the town center to Sitio, an elevated area with impressive views. From here, you'll be able to see the gigantic waves that have brought Nazaré worldwide fame among surfers. We will then head towards the Ermida da Memoria, a sanctuary located on a cliff with sea views.

Finally, we'll visit the São Miguel Arcanjo Sanctuary and Fort, where we'll learn about the town's history from a military perspective while admiring the impressive walls.

We'll conclude this guided walking tour after covering between 2.5 and 4.5 km (1.5 to 2.7 miles) at the initial meeting point.
