Hotels in Leiria District, Portugal

Leiria District stretches along Portugal's central coast, with mild winters around 50°F (10°C) and warm summers near 80°F (27°C). It's famous for Leiria Castle, a 12th-century fortress with views over the town, and Nazaré's winter swells that hit 100 feet (30 meters) - a top spot for big-wave surfing. In summer, you can relax on the nearby beaches or wander Óbidos' medieval lanes; in winter, watch surfers tackle the giants from the São Miguel fortress.
