This is a brief but fun stop for anyone interested in the history of salt production in Portugal. You can also buy salt here and up the road at the nearby little town (where there is a shop with salt products).

Bring cash! Only a few € per person but must be paid in cash. Very nice, simple museum with working salt pools and even an area if you want to soak your feet in the salty water (bring a towel!). Good for bird watching too - don’t forget binoculars but you might be able to borrow some from the front desk to try to spot a flamingo. This museum is down a one way sand road with limited parking. Very informative and super friendly and helpful staff. Request to play video with English subtitles.

Live "museum" for traditional salt making going back to the 11th century. My family enjoyed walking around, watching the salt beds, the wild life and speaking with the locals.

Super nice people taking care of a very small but very interesting museum combined with enthusiasm offering on some Saturdays real practice on the fields which was an exceptional experience for us.

Its very inexpensive, very cool to walk around the salt flats were they still harvest the salt. The brown huts are the original ones used back in the day and still in use today. Stopped at one on the way in, super nice gentleman, had a nice chat and purchased salt flower from him for 2 euros a bag!!

I'm sure it's ok but we went twice and it was closed both times.

A small and fine gem of knowledge about local salt production. A great tour with the employee, who even lends a hand in the rather complex salt production process. Definitely worth a visit.

If you’re in the area and you don’t stop here, you’re making a big mistake. For an amazing burger and/or a drink on the terrace… it’s definitely THE SPOT. Try the white sangria, it’s amazing.

Magical place to have a refreshment. Cigarette machine available, delicious lemonada, great service, views, music and ambience. If you get the chance to go here you will be grateful. This place is like no other.

Best place for a sunset cocktail! Absolutely delicious and beautiful. You feel like your climbing to greatness on the way in with the narrow stone passage ways, and you are, pure greatness....the views, the dj, the tastiest drink!

Very nice burger and the view! Really enjoyed it there

Amazing Burger & Beer at the restaurant inside and on top of this Forte! Our assistant, because I really dislike the use waiter for him because he was so wonderful we mistook him for the owner, was knowledgeable, charismatic and attentive. He recommended thier beer on tap. We had the lighter beer that to me was very fresh and almost has a citrus flavor and it was great with our huge burgers and steak cut fries with seasonings. He wound up bringing us a sample of the dark beer. It was smooth and sweet. If you're have a dessert, this might be the beer for you. And I haven't even mentioned the views! We ate on the roof and enjoyed not only the view of the ocean, town, river and people but the breeze with the salty ocean air. There is a large screen tv downstairs to see the latest match with your family and closest friends. If you're in town or planning a trip into Figueira da Foz this place is a must. Enjoy and have fun!

So happy to find it here! We wished we were more hungry. Will have to go back again! Very interesting layout, rustic, excellent service, very good food from what we ate, great drinks, DJ playing .. Burgers looked delicious. Must remember to come back!!

Very beautiful market! Amazing architecture! Amazing and Nice People! Fresh fruits, flowers, fresh fish, cheeses… you name it! Also, dozens of small shops, like cafes, souvenirs. Like a shopping mall, but for small and local businesses!

Just to visit. Bought teetowels for family. Lots of fresh fish flowers and fruit

Awesome, the amount of products. The herb and dried fruit stall is a cornucopia of delights

Fresh and beautiful! A must visit!

Excellent market hall , especially for fresh fish, fruit and vegetables, and spices.

Central, convenient and open daily (except Sunday) with many counters. There are some produces you cannot find in the supermarket both the variety and the freshness or the size, quality. There are a few old ladies who only sell what they grow in their garden and I love theirs, so fresh and so generous! The taste is totally different. Saturday is the busiest day also more stores open. Opposite the market to the front is the skipper bar and many other cafes which is quite pleasant to sit after a grocery trip. Super relaxed.

Big spacious farmers market. Prices a little on the higher side but a good variations of fruits, vegetables and seafood selection. There are also florist, bakeries and a few cafes for a good cup of coffee and pastries

A beautiful house, built a little over 100 years ago, amazing details in every room. Owned by the local casino, sometimes used as a set for parties, theatre, TV and movies. During the Winter season it is only open on Friday&Saturday, guided tours start on the hour, 5€ pp, in May they open every day. The grounds and garden are open and can be visited for free. A passionate guide will show you parts of the house and provide lots of background information.

Entrance to the palace is €5 for adults, and free for children (my daughter is 3.5). We were lucky — we arrived at 4:00 PM and got there just in time for the start of a guided tour. The tour was very interesting. The lady guiding us could speak both Portuguese and English, so tourists from other countries (who understand English) can easily join. I really enjoyed the interiors, the stained glass, and the paintings. An amazing house — and the grounds are beautiful too. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing rich opulence of the early 1900's. A beautifully kept house museum with a lot of history. Must pre book guided tours only.

Fantastic place , worth to visit and our guide, Frederica was incredible,showed us everything! It is closed only on Mondays,other days open from 10 to 18.

It was fascinating! You can enter the house with an official tour guide (very nice) for 5€ per person. Would definitely recommend ☺️

An interesting place to learn about a wealthy family in Figueira around 1900. I loved the magnificent walls and ceilings. It's a wild mix of styles, renaissance, manueline, art nouveau and gothic. Very knowledgeable guide and friendly receptionist. Danke! I'd suggest to introduce a more transparent and easy booking system online, so that people know when there are portuguese and when there are english guided tours.

Impressive visit. The tour in English & Portuguese was awesome. Our guide was knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions.

Amazing view, but a little dirty (people, what is wrong with you. Take your trash out) 😢 There is a parking spot right in front of the place.

Beautiful sunset view, there were a couple also camping behind us definitely a view worth catching

Cabo Mondego is located on the western side of the Serra da Boa Viagem, between the beaches of Murtinheira and Figueira da Foz. From this area, between the lighthouse and the descent to Buarcos, there are several points of observation of the city and its surroundings that are not to be missed. From there you can see the outline of the coast to Vieira de Leiria, with the crescent of Figueira da Foz bay

Lindíssimo... Breath taking landscape.

Great view of Buarcos and Figueira da Foz. Near ruins of original lighthouse and its replacement. Good spot for picnic and photo opps..

It’s a good spot to go if you’re in the area but wouldn’t recommend going out of the way to visit.

The view is beautiful. But it is spoiled by a huge amount of litter.

Great atmosphere, very fun to watch and an all round enjoyable visit. Just a shame the bulls can't write reviews, I'm sure there'd be a few less stars. I would also not recommend throwing personal items like phones from the upper balcony as it doesn't tend to end well. Didn't even get a picture.

Corrida still exists its a shame for Portugal Torture and violence

We watched a bullfight at the Coliseu Figueirense. While I am against cruelty to animals, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and it was amazing. The Coliseu was the perfect venue for the occasion, being brightly lit and very tidy.

We were given amazing tour about the place and the culutre of bull fighting in Portugal. Highly recomended! Tour stars atb15:30. Price 2 EUR.

very interesting place but unfortunately animals, bulls and horses are still dying there.

Never forgetting this place

Nice.

A relatively small mall but has a good variety of shops that suffices the purpose and also a good variety in the number and types of restaurants.

When will you drop the silly rule that dogs are not allowed inside a shopping center. Food shops are OK, but bying a cell phone or eating a meal should not be an issue. That is the silliest rule in the whole of Portugal.

Good to find a few shops in the same place. NOS and Meo stores and Auchan. Food is overpriced.

Decent medium size shopping mall would like to see more electric charging stations specially fast charging I found only x2 on - 1 floor after driving around in the parking for 25 min

Single level shopping center with an Auchan Hypermarket as the anchor store. Barber shop, beauty salon, etc. this place has it all.

My recent visit Foz Plaza shopping center left me with mixed feelings. While it has several appealing features, there are notable areas where it falls short of expectations. One of the most significant drawbacks I encountered was the limited availability of clothing shops, especially for formal attire like shirts and suits. This deficiency was particularly disappointing, as a shopping center should ideally offer a wide range of options for shoppers looking to update their wardrobes. On a positive note, the shopping center does have some redeeming qualities. The presence of stores for phones, a barber, a groceries shop, and an array of restaurants and a cinema contribute to its diversity. These offerings provide a variety of options for different needs, from technology and grooming to dining and entertainment. However, the overall shopping experience is marred by the lack of essential clothing stores. Given this deficiency, I would rate the shopping center as a 3 out of 5 stars. While it has some attractive features, the absence of key retail categories, such as formal clothing, hinders its potential as a comprehensive shopping destination. I hope the management considers expanding their offerings in this regard to enhance the shopping center's appeal to a broader audience.

Decent shopping centre, enough choice for a quick bite down at the food court. The cinema was nice and decently priced.

cozy small local museum with nice staff. it contains 7 rooms, well organized, themed. exhibition is a bit boring, cause you might have seen a lot of similar things before. the price is only 2 EUR, which is almost free.

Nice museum. Friendly English speaking staff who seem to be proud of the exhibits. €2 entry fee reduced to €1 if you’re over 65. Well worth a quick visit if nearby.

A true gem for history lovers! Museu Municipal Santos Rocha impresses with its engaging exhibits and well-curated collection that beautifully showcases the region's heritage. Highly recommended!

Nice museum, right in the city centre. The entry was just two euros and the temporal excibition was really great. The only little detail I'd find is that they don't take cards.

Awesome place to visit. Almost everything in the museum is having bilingual tags - in Portuguese and English. I was surprised the entrance was so affordable. It's a must-viait place, so whenever you are in Figueira da Foz, don't miss it. I was really excited to see items and stuff which was thousands years old (literary). This place has lots to offer, so what can I say - definitely recommend it! I just fell.i love with this one...

A great selection of local archaeological items plus Indo-Portuguese furniture, armaments from the Peninsular War and WWI, and modern art by local painters.

Stunning small museum in Figueira da Foz. Some very nice pieces and all beautifully displayed. Staff very helpful. Do visit!

Simple museum, hidden away. Very welcoming staff. Informative about the area and its previous fishing heritage was very interesting. And no charge!

(Translated by Google) Interesting small museum that gives an idea of ​​fishing, especially cod, in the past. On the ground floor there is a temporary exhibition about lighthouses and on the top floor an image of the cement factory that is celebrating its 100th anniversary. And all that for free. Add the friendly and helpful ladies and that will give you 1.5 hours of educational fun. (Original) Interessant klein museum dat een beeld geeft van de visvangst met name kabeljauw in het verleden. Op de begane grond is een tijdelijke tentoonstelling over vuurtorens en op de bovenetage een beeld van de cementfabriek die haar 100 jarig bestaan viert. En dat allemaal gratis. Neem daarbij de vriendelijke en behulpzame dames dan geeft dat 1.5 uur leerzaam plezier.

(Translated by Google) Extra, didactic, modest and well used means. I benefited from a special welcome from Lina and I thank her. (Original) Extra, didactique, des moyens modeste et bien utilisé. J’ai bénéficié d’un accueil privilégié de Lina et je la remercie.

Very interesting on the local population and customs of this region.

(Translated by Google) A place where you can learn about the history of fishing, see and learn about shells, and learn about the history of Cabo Mondego. (Original) Um local, onde poderá conhecer a história de pesca, ver e conhecer as conchas e ficar a par da história de Cabo Mondego.

(Translated by Google) The museum receptionist was very friendly, polite, and available to provide information and clarification. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I think the television on the first floor, where you can watch an interesting film about cod fishing, is too small. Admission is free. (Original) Funcionária da recepção do museu muito simpática, educada e disponivel para prestar informações e esclarecimentos. Só não dou cinco estrelas porque considero pequena demais a televisão localizada no 1° andar onde se pode visualizar um interessante filme sobre a pesca do bacalhau. A entrada é gratuita.

(Translated by Google) We loved it! Very friendly! We learned a lot! On the last Saturday of the month there is a spectacular guided tour. (Original) Adoramos! Muito amável! Aprendemos imenso! No último sábado do mês há uma visita guiada espectacular.

Waves are spectacular, but the area is a bit colder than Buarcos or Figueira da Foz (about 2⁰ Celsius) very appreciated though when high temperature

Beautiful unspoilt long beach with cafes dotted along

Thanks SS

(Translated by Google) Immense beach, which is limited by a dune complex protected by a wooden walkway. The beach bar is halfway along the wide promenade. The sand is hard, and bathing with caution, as it is very open to the Ocean. (Original) Playa inmensa, que la limita un complejo dunar protegido por pasarela de madera. El chiringuito está a mitad del amplio paseo. La arena dura, y el baño con precaución, pues está muy abierta al Océano.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful beach!!! Worth checking out!! (Original) Praia muito linda !!! Vale a pena conferir !!

(Translated by Google) Calm beach, good for families with children. Several natural "pools" in the rocks delight the little ones. (Original) Praia calma, boa para famílias com crianças. Várias "piscinas" naturais nas rochas fazem as delícias da pequenada.

(Translated by Google) For me, the most beautiful and charming place, as I say, is my island. (Original) Para mim e o sítio mais lindo e encantador, como eu digo é a minha ilha

Try to enter and it was closed when advertised open online

Ok

very nice place

(Translated by Google) A magnificent palace-house with almost 7,000 tiles that, according to legend, arrived on a Dutch ship and were purchased by the owners of the house. There are four rooms especially with magnificent tiles. The entrance is through Professor Víctor Guerra's Largo number 4, that is, at the back of the building. The ground floor that overlooks the river is entirely occupied by shops. (Original) Una magnífica casa-palacio con casi 7000 azulejos que, según la leyenda, llegaron en un barco holandés y los compraron los dueños de la casa. Hay cuatro habitaciones especialmente con magníficos azulejos. La entrada es por el Largo del Profesor Víctor Guerra número 4, es decir, por la parte de atrás del edificio. La planta baja que da al río, está ocupada toda por tiendas.

(Translated by Google) I liked it, especially because it was a house restored by the City Council and made public for visitors. The garden is a very pleasant space, and the exhibition rooms house a collection of 18th-century Dutch tiles. I also saw the exhibition "Remembering Aida at São Carlos," a screening of Giuseppe Verdi's opera. (Original) Gostei, principalmente por ser uma casa recuperada pela Camara e tornada publica para visitação. O jardim é um espaço muito agradável e nas salas de exposição foram mantidos a coleção de azulejos holandeses do século XVIII, e onde pude contemplar a exposição "Recordar Aída no São Carlos", mostra da ópera de Giuseppe Verdi.

(Translated by Google) An interesting architectural space with a surprising collection of Dutch tiles inside. A fun digital tool with plenty of information about the space. A temporary exhibition of Verdi's opera Aida at the S. Carlos Theater. It's worth a visit. (Original) Espaço arquitectónico interessante, com uma surpreendente coleção de azulejos holandeses no interior. Ferramenta digital engraçada, com bastante informação sobre o espaço. Exposição temporária - Ópera Aida, de Verdi, no S. Carlos. Vale a pena a visita.

(Translated by Google) We didn't look at the schedule on Google, and we went in the morning and it was closed. We would have liked to visit it because it looks very nice. (Original) No nos fijamos en el horario que venía en Google, y acudimos por la mañana y estaba cerrado, nos hubiera gustado visitarlo porque tiene muy buena pinta

Very good for family entertainment. Amusement guaranteed.

Very calm and relaxing place. Could have more fish, but as it stands it's good

Great place to learn how to fish and to enjoy both locally breed as well as sea fish coming with the tide.

Nice for fishing although the fishes didn't go with me. 😀

Top.

(Translated by Google) It is one more leisure option to take into consideration. The catches are mainly sea bass and bream but just paying is not enough to guarantee success. We have rented the equipment at the facilities and have included the bait: natural (Korean, miñoca) or putty. The pack also includes feed for fattening and the net to keep the catches alive. At the end of the three hours we have caught two sea bass and a bream and another small fish that we have not been able to identify. The service has been very good and they have guided us from the beginning, answering all our questions. In these times of pandemic, the picnic area where you can use the grill and dishes is disabled. We choose to leave the fish at the disposal of the fish tank. I recommend this place to go with people who want to get started or just spend time fishing, with a higher probability of success than fishing in the open sea. (Original) Es una opción más de ocio a tener en consideración. Las capturas son lubinas y doradas principalmente pero no basta solo con pagar para garantizar el éxito. Nosotros hemos alquilado el equipo en las instalaciones y hemos incluido el cebo: natural (coreanas, miñocas) o masilla. En el pack entra también pienso para engodar y la red para mantener vivas las capturas. Al final de las tres horas hemos cogido dos lubinas y una dorada y otro pequeño pez que no hemos sabido identificar. La atención ha sido muy buena y nos han orientado desde el inicio atendiendo a todas nuestras preguntas. En estos tiempos de pandemia, el merendero en el que puedes utilizar la parrilla y la vajilla, está deshabilitado. Nosotros optamos por dejar los peces a disposición del pescódromo. Recomiendo este lugar para ir con gente que quiera iniciarse o solamente pasar el rato pescando, con una probabilidad de éxito más elevada que la de pescar en mar abierto.

(Translated by Google) The access could be improved, but the pescodrome itself is spectacular. (Original) Os acessos podiam ser melhorados, mas o pescodromo em si é espetacular.

Praia da Leirosa offers a peaceful escape: a sweeping stretch of fine sand with easy access, parking, cafés, and surf-friendly waves. Nestled in a charming fishing village, it’s ideal for quiet mornings or watching traditional Xávega fishing. Just be aware of a faint industrial scent nearby.

Good 👍 Staffs are also nice 🙋🏽🇮🇹🍝🏞️🧑‍🍳🎨🍔🍟🥤

Quiet and simple. Big resident area probably due to hosting a huge factory. Not much commerce and sightseeing. Not a 5 star due to lack of cleanliness

Wide beach of fine sand in front of a small village. If you like wild beaches. This is for you. In the afternoon you can see the fishermen arranging their wooden boat and nets

Great beach. Good sand for walking on. Good parking and there are a few cafes open even in the winter months.

Nice beach. Very calm in the morning.

Great
