A popular coastal town in Portugal, known for its vast beach, historical attractions, and vibrant nightlife. The town has a mix of traditional and contemporary shopping and dining options. A highlight in this picturesque little Portuguese town was the many shopping opportunities. Figueira has a range of boutique shops selling traditional items such as ceramics, textiles, and souvenirs. The Street Markets were very busy offering purses, luggage, fresh produce, antiques, and crafts.
Being a coastal town, Figueira da Foz offers a plethora of seafood dining options. Fresh catches of the day, like sardines, cod, or sea bass, can be enjoyed in many eateries. We found Traditional Portuguese Cuisine, “bacalhau” (codfish) in various preparations, “cozido à portuguesa” (a type of stew), and many other local delicacies. However, here was our culinary highlight: Pastelarias (Bakeries/Cafes). Don’t miss trying out local pastries, especially the famous “pastéis de nata” (egg custard tarts).
