Overview

Discover a powerful contrast between monastic heritage and Atlantic coast on a private full-day tour from Porto to Alcobaça and Nazaré.

With a licensed driver-guide and premium private vehicle, begin in Alcobaça, where the UNESCO-listed Monastery of Santa Maria de Alcobaça reveals the discipline, scale and quiet strength of Cistercian Gothic architecture.

Admire the Miradouro do Suberco, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré and the Ermida da Memória, then shape the visit with optional experiences such as the Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo or the Nazaré Funicular.

After flexible lunch time, discover Nazaré’s sun-dried fish traditions and living coastal identity before returning to Porto.
