1. Visit the Historic Quadrado
This is the heart of Trancoso: a large lawn surrounded by colorful houses and an old white church in the background (Igreja de São João Batista).

At night, the Quadrado transforms with soft lights, charming restaurants, shops and studios.

It's worth sitting and enjoying the sunset with a view of the sea.

2. Explore the Beaches
Praia dos Coqueiros: very close to the Quadrado, with beach huts and calm sea.

Praia dos Nativos: excellent for walking and swimming in the river where it meets the sea.

Praia do Rio da Barra: quieter, surrounded by cliffs – good for those looking for peace.

Praia do Espelho: one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil, about 1 hour away by car (worth a round trip).

Praia de Itapororoca: exclusive and not very busy, ideal for relaxing.
