If you can, visit on a weekday. The weekend crowds can be overwhelming, and you'll have more peace to soak in the stunning views

Definitely pack some snacks and plenty of water! There are limited places to grab food nearby, and trust me, you’ll want to recharge after that hike.

Watch out for the trail signs; I took a wrong turn and added extra miles to my hike. A good GPS app or offline maps can save you time.

Vale do Zezere

Bring a refillable water bottle—there are several fountains along the trails. Investing in a good snack stash can save you money instead of stopping at shops.

If you’re into photography go at sunrise around 7 AM. The light is magical and there are hardly any people around. You’ll get some amazing shots!

I recommend taking the lesser-known trails; they’re often less crowded and offer stunning views. I stumbled upon a hidden spot perfect for a picnic!

Honestly, I think it might be better to go on a weekday around 3 PM. The crowd was much lighter, and it felt way more fun without all the noise.
Lagoa da Cela velha
North Beach

Grab lunch at one of the beachside cafes. I found a great one that had amazing seafood without breaking the bank. Just look for places with local menus!

My advice is to book your surf lessons in advance, especially during peak season. I missed out on a couple because I didn't plan ahead, and it was a bummer!

If you're planning to hit the waves, I recommend visiting in the morning around 9 AM. The crowds are smaller, and the waves are usually better for surfing then.

Nazare to Sao Martinho do Porto

Pack some snacks and water! There aren’t many shops on the trail, and having my own food made the hike much more enjoyable and budget-friendly. Plus, those views are gorgeous, so you'll want to take your time!
