Fortaleza is a major fishing port and fast growing tourist destination in the northeast of Brazil. In the centre there are a few interesting colonial buildings. The Mercado Central and the Cathedral are the major sights in the area.
The best beaches are east of town. The Praia de Iracema and the Praia do Futuro are good options. Further east on the Avenida Beira Mar there are a few more beaches. The beaches are also the focal point of nightlife and entertainment.
Fortaleza is one of the best places for buying crafts. Lacework, embroidery, leather goods and ceramics are good buys. For good prices you should skip the tourist boutiques and try the Mercado Central.
Nightlife became famous since The New York Times reported its 'Hottest Monday night in the world'. It can safely be said that from Monday to Sunday, there are always good options for every interest and taste.
