Discovering Fortaleza

Brazil, with its vast population of approximately 165 million people spread across 27 states, boasts a tapestry of diverse cultures. One of these states is Ceará, home to over 8 million residents and the magnificent city of Fortaleza. Fortaleza, founded in the 17th century by the Portuguese and Dutch, has evolved into a mesmerizing melting pot of Brazilian cultures. This dynamic city embraces a blend of native Indians, northern and southern Europeans, and descendants of African slaves, which creates a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, enriched with a profound local culture.

The cuisine of Fortaleza is a delightful reflection of this diversity, offering an array of flavorful and spicy dishes, complemented by an abundance of exotic fruits. In addition to local stores and open-air markets, Fortaleza boasts luxury shopping malls that cater to diverse tastes.

Exploring Fortaleza’s Attractions

A vacation in Fortaleza is a journey through history and culture. The city is adorned with remarkable landmarks, including the historic old prison, the Provincial House, which now houses the Museum of Ceará, and several churches and theaters. Among these, the old São Luis Theater stands out, serving as a venue for cultural festivals.

Don’t miss the vibrant entertainment districts of Iracema and Dragao do Mar, where you’ll encounter an array of restaurants, terraces, fast-food joints, boutiques, galleries, discotheques, and local bars known as “Botequins.” Every night, these districts come alive with live music, featuring plenty of Forró (local music and dance) and lively Brazilians. While you’re here, indulge in the local favorites: caipirinha and ice-cold coconut water served in a coconut shell. An absolute must is Monday nights at the renowned Pirata Bar, where you can dance to the infectious rhythms of Brazilian music.

A vacation in Fortaleza is incomplete without basking in the sun on its beautiful beaches.

Fortaleza’s Pristine Beaches

During your vacation in Fortaleza, you’ll have the pleasure of discovering two stunning beaches: Praia do Futuro and Praia Beira Mar.

Praia do Futuro, stretching over approximately 6 kilometers, is a favorite among Brazilians due to its numerous local kiosks, restaurants, and bars. This beach is renowned for its delectable seafood, crab, and shellfish dishes—perfect for pairing with an evening of dancing after a relaxing day by the ocean. Live bands often grace the shores, particularly on weekends and Thursday nights.

Praia Beira Mar, a wide sandy beach measuring about 3,000 meters in length, is situated right on the beautiful boulevard in Fortaleza’s city center. Along both the beach and the promenade, you’ll find an abundance of beach shacks, restaurants, and bars. As the late afternoon transitions into evening, the area comes alive with excitement. Locals enjoy leisurely strolls, jogging, and scenic walks during this time. The promenade at Praia Beira Mar is often compared to the famous Copacabana promenade in Rio de Janeiro, but many locals find Fortaleza’s boulevard even more impressive and inviting.

Currency in Fortaleza

In Fortaleza, the local currency is the Real, abbreviated as R$. You’ll receive approximately 2.70 Reais for every euro. The cost of living in Brazil is generally lower compared to the Netherlands, making meals, drinks, transportation, and other expenses remarkably affordable.

Fortaleza is celebrated for its 350 sunny days a year and an average daytime temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius, while nighttime temperatures cool down to approximately 25 degrees Celsius. As the most sought-after vacation destination in Brazil, Fortaleza has been hailed as “The absolute hotspot of this millennium” and “A tropical paradise.” In a nutshell, Fortaleza truly is paradise on earth!
