To get around Natal, the use of transport apps is very common and efficient.

Natal is a welcoming city, but like any Brazilian capital, it requires attention. Avoid walking in isolated areas of the Via Costeira or the Historic Center after dark. Keep your belongings close when enjoying urban beaches and avoid flaunting valuables. When hiring buggy tours, make sure the professional is accredited by the local tourism body to ensure safety in the dunes. The use of sunscreen is indispensable, as the UV index is extremely high throughout the year. Following these basic recommendations ensures that your experience in the Northeast is focused only on fun and well-deserved rest.

The gastronomy in Natal is a highlight of the trip. You must try the sun-dried meat with cassava, a classic of the region.

Be sure to visit the Ponta Negra Market to try the ginga with tapioca, a simple and iconic dish of the local culture. Tropical fruits like cashew and seriguela are fresh and abundant. For an authentic experience, look for restaurants frequented by locals outside the strictly tourist axis, where the seasonings are more traditional and the prices reflect the reality of the city.

To live Natal like a local, visit the Petrópolis neighborhood for a late afternoon coffee or a walk in the Dunes Park. Instead of staying only in Ponta Negra, explore the natural pools of Pirangi during low tide, always consulting the tide table before leaving. Participate in a folklore group rehearsal if you have the opportunity. For the best photos without the crowd, go to the Three Wise Men Fort right at opening.
