Fortaleza: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
The capital of Ceará (Nordeste), Fortaleza, is a city with importance on a regional scale and the gateway to sublime beaches and resorts.
My suggestion
Go to Fortaleza on your way to Canoa Quebrada, Jericoacoara, or any of the other resorts in the area, but don't stop there. The city of Fortaleza itself is ugly and there's not a lot to see.
Fortaleza's beaches, with the sun of the Brazilian state of Ceará shining over them, simply invite partying and leisure: an invitation impossible to refuse!
My suggestion
Every Monday evening, the Pirata Bar opens its doors to host the self-proclaimed "second craziest party in the world" , with Brazilian music and entertaining dance styles in a friendly atmosphere – and bean soup for everyone at the end of the night!

Don't miss the Arts Center, which often has excellent exhibitions, and the ecological park.
