- Steffen SFredrikstad, Norway52 contributionsAmazing view of the city Fortaleza. Great sand. And good place to get a nice shot of the city. A bit windy at the end of the of the molo! But this is a place to see if you are in town.Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- no_riversideSao Paulo, SP39 contributionsLots of options of local handcrafted goods such as “Renda de Bilro”. The market is huge. But careful: there are lots of stores selling Chinese products instead.Written 11 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leonardo MachadoOsasco, SP4 contributionsVery big shopping mall with multiple options from big brands to all kinds of food in the food court. It's a good choice if you have kids.Written 15 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paula RSantiago, Chile64 contributionsQuiet place to walk and swim. Near to some pretty good restaurants. Its located in a really secure area even at night. You can see lot of people dancing and doing all kind of sportsWritten 19 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JochenSUIRegensdorf, Switzerland122 contributionsWe had an amazing day at the aguas belas beach!!
I recommend going with an organized tour as they explain everything and bring you to the nicest places.
Only „negative“ point is, that you have to book a buggy tour to get to see the official aguas belas. But for 70 Reais per person it‘s totally worth the trip!!Written 26 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Pretty good selection of both mass-produced and hand-crafted goods. Not an incredible amount of variety between the shops. More interesting than the grand Central Market.Written 9 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tom BLuzon, Philippines389 contributionsThe most popular collection of barracas in the city may soon be history. Just like the Copacabana beach in Rio, the city is remodeling the area to squeeze out more tourist money. Hopefully they will modernize the facilities, but at the cost of the individuality of each place, leaving a sterile soulless locale. Also expect travel problems as they slowly move on the street repairs. Fortunately, Fortaleza has other less commercialized stretches of beaches.Written 1 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andreas wSao Paulo, SP95 contributionsDragão do Mar is a local hero. The state of Ceará build a Cultural Center to honor his story. There are so many art pieces that I highly recommend a visit. As far as I remember we didn't expend any money to visit it.Written 24 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HenrikAhlSweden32 contributionsBrazilians are crazy of football and in Fortaleza with several teams you must go to Arena Castelão and experience this. A good area with good views from almost every seat. Have fun!Written 14 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- peterh125Rugeley, UK985 contributionsThis is one of the largest and most modern of the malls in Fortaleza and probably one of my favourites as it is quite easy to navigate and has the benefit of a hypermarket as part of the complex. Free wifi is available but you need a passport or ID number to log onWritten 14 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- My field is the worldMagdeburg, Germany297 contributionsThe Ponte dos Ingleses (Ingleses Bridge) is partially dilapidated and not fully accessible. However, it is a good spot for taking pictures of the Fortaleza skyline and beautiful sunsets. Moropver, Ingleses Bridge is located in one of the oldest and most colorful neighborhoods of Fortaleza. The brightly colored houses convey an almost Caribbean feeling. However, be careful when walking around here in the dark.Written 20 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
