Explore Óbidos and Nazaré on a Private Tour from Nazaré, Leiria District
Explore the legendary big-wave hotspot of Nazaré in the heart of Leiria District, where you can stand at the very site that repeatedly set the world record for the biggest surfed waves and soak up breathtaking coastal views; visit the Surf Museum housed within the historic São Miguel de Arcanjo Fort, pause at the evocative Nazaré Sanctuary and the intimate Memory Chapel, and wander the narrow alleys of this one-of-a-kind traditional fishing village to learn about time-honored customs like drying fish and the striking local women who still wear their seven skirts. Then continue your experience in the charming medieval town of Óbidos, guided through its castle, churches, fine art and winding streets while tasting the region’s authentic flavors-don’t miss the famed Ginjinha de Óbidos served in a chocolate cup-discovering why this part of Portugal is celebrated as the “Land of the Queens” and perfectly suited for adventurous, cultural, family-friendly and food-focused plans.
