Yes, the lovely coastal town of Nazaré is worth it. With its golden sand and relaxed atmosphere, this former fishing village offers a similar vibe to the Algarve but is within much easier reach of Lisbon—it takes just over an hour to drive there.

Nazaré Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Nazaré in 2025?

While it’s free to explore the coastal town of Nazaré independently, visiting as part of a day trip lets you see more of central Portugal’s highlights. Full-day trips from Lisbon that combine Nazaré with the pilgrimage site of Fátima and the medieval center of Óbidos start at €80.

Q: What are the main attractions in Nazaré?

The main attractions in Nazaré include Miradouro do Suberco, a panoramic lookout point that offers views of Praia da Nazaré, and the funicular that takes you from the lower town up to this scenic spot. Another highlight is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazareth Church.

Q: What months are the biggest waves in Nazaré?

You can see the biggest waves in Nazaré during the months of October through March; this is when professional surfers flock to the small town to ride some of the world’s most spectacular swells. From November through February, surf competitions take place.

Q: Is it safe to swim in Nazaré?

Yes, it is sometimes safe to swim in Nazaré. During the summer months of June through August, the waves are typically small and currents are few, so you can swim safely off the shore of Praia da Nazaré. However, in the winter and the longer surf season, it is not safe to swim in Nazaré.

Unlike many cetacean observation activities, our priority is to provide an authentic and respectful encounter with wildlife. We operate alongside the impressive Nazaré Canyon, one of the largest underwater cannons in Europe, a zone rich in marine biodiversity that attracts several species throughout the year. We strictly follow good practices of responsible observation, ensuring that animals are never chased or disturbed. We believe that the real magic lies in observing the dolphins free, behaving naturally in their environment. In addition to marine life, this experience offers privileged views of the coast of Nazareth and the opportunity to navigate one of the world’s most iconic ocean areas, known for its giant waves and the extraordinary richness of the marine ecosystem. Every exit is different, each encounter is genuine and every moment is an opportunity to create a deeper connection with the ocean and nature.

Jeff_D, May 2026

Great tour at multiple locations!

This was a very nice tour! Our guide was quite knowledgeable and navigated the streets and highways quite deftly and safely. Very comfortable and clean vehicle. Nazare and Obidos were our favorite stops, but all the stops contributed to a nice day. Just enough time at each one. Our lunch in Nazare (tour guide recommendation) was awesome! Would definitely recommend this one.

Rodrigo was one of the best guides we have ever had! He is a great conversationalist, who shared a lot of his personal knowledge about the towns we visited. Additionally he was well prepared, knows everyone and takes extra care of his clients. He took us to a wonderful local restaurant, which was excellent. Really enjoyed seeing Fatima and learning about the history as we walked around together. It was a long day, but great adventure. Highly recommended!

HIGHLY Recommend!

We booked a group tour but lucked out and ended up with a private tour with Alex as our guide. He was so incredibly friendly, informative, and made sure we had plenty time to explore our must-do's. Alex was very conversational as well and seemed just as excited to learn about where we live and our ways of life as we were about Portugal! It was the perfect experience for our final day in this beautiful, friendly country!
