Fortaleza

Fortaleza © Ricardo

Fortaleza is huge and isolated, luring travellers with about 16 miles (25km) of urban beaches and a celebrated nightlife. This coastal destination is extremely popular among holidaying Brazilians. Praia de Iracema, Meireles and Varjota are all booming tourist neighbourhoods boasting shops, restaurants and nightclubs aplenty.

Fortaleza is not a prime sightseeing destination as it has few famous landmarks or significant historic sites, but it still has some fine examples of colonial architecture. That said, it's unrivalled as a hedonistic beach holiday setting.

The city is hot and humid year-round, promising loads of fun in the sun. Popular urban beaches include Iracema, which has some beach bars and nightclubs and a bohemian vibe, and Mucuripe, where local fishermen still ply their trade at a traditional fish market. Praia do Futuro has great tourist infrastructure, while the Pedra da Risca do Meio State Marine Park offers scuba diving.

Travellers who'd rather avoid the city's crowded beaches can find more wild and unspoilt stretches of coastline beyond Fortaleza, where a number of quaint fishing villages promise a more timeless and authentic experience of Brazilian culture.
