Nazare's absolute Highlights

Nazaré ist geprägt von seiner dramatischen Topografie, die sich zwischen der Küstenstadt und dem Sítio-Viertel auf der Klippe aufteilt. Diese Sammlung zeigt den doppelten Charakter der Stadt, vom weitläufigen Nazaré Beach bis zum weltberühmten Big-Wave-Surfen an der Praia do Norte. Zu den wichtigsten historischen Stätten gehören das Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo aus dem 16. Jahrhundert und die Ermida da Memória aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Erhöhte Aussichtspunkte wie der Miradouro do Suberco bieten 110 Meter hohe Perspektiven auf die Atlantikküste und die darunter liegende traditionelle Stadt mit ihren roten Dächern.
