    Nazaré, an iconic coastal town on Portugal's Silver Coast, uniquely combines deeply rooted fishing traditions with the adrenaline of big-wave surfing. Here, you'll experience a fascinating maritime culture, kept alive by the presence of traditional fishermen and the distinctive women in their "Sete Saias". A visit to the upper town of Sítio is essential; travel up comfortably on the historic funicular and enjoy unforgettable panoramic views of the bay and the Atlantic from the viewpoint. Here you will also find the Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Nazaré, an important pilgrimage site. At Praia do Norte, you can marvel at the legendary giant waves in the winter months that have made Nazaré world-famous. For a deeper insight into the wave phenomena and surfing culture, a visit to the lighthouse at Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo is worthwhile.
