LISBON AIRPORT TO NAZARÉ
Taxi from Lisbon Airport to Nazaré
Nazaré is a traditional fishing town with a huge curved beach, a lively seafront and some of the biggest surfable waves in the world. It is about 117 km from Lisbon Airport and the transfer takes around 1 hour 14 minutes.
A private car takes the work out of the journey, with space for luggage and no connections to plan. We can wait while you explore if you are visiting for the day, or simply drop you at your accommodation.
WHAT TO SEE
Highlights in and around Nazaré
Sítio
The old clifftop quarter is reached by a historic funicular and has wide views over the town and bay.
Praia do Norte and the lighthouse
In winter, huge Atlantic swells break near the fort and lighthouse, drawing surfers and spectators.
Local traditions
Look out for the traditional seven-skirt costume and fish drying on the sand.
THE JOURNEY
Getting to Nazaré
The drive follows the motorway north and leaves it for the final stretch into town. It is a smooth journey for most of the year, with the busiest roads at summer weekends and during the winter big-wave season.
Good to know
- The big-wave season usually runs from autumn to late winter, so book early if you want to watch.
- Streets near the beach can be crowded in summer, so tell us your accommodation address.
- Nazaré combines well with Óbidos, Alcobaça and Batalha if you want to see more.
