Varzim

Varzim is a coastal city located in northern Portugal, in the district of Porto. It is situated on the Atlantic coast, known for its beaches and a mild climate. Historically, Varzim was an important fishing port, and this heritage is still visible in some parts of the city.

The city's economy is now largely driven by tourism, attracting visitors with its sandy beaches, lively promenade, and casino. The Praia da Granja is one of its most popular stretches of sand, offering ample space for recreation. The Casino de Varzim, a significant landmark, contributes to the city's entertainment offerings.

Varzim's urban landscape features a mix of traditional architecture and more modern developments. The city center is characterized by its shops, restaurants, and cafes, providing a focal point for local life. While not a major industrial center, Varzim benefits from its proximity to Porto, a larger metropolitan area with a strong economic base. The municipality also encompasses smaller towns and rural areas, contributing to its diverse character. The region's agricultural production, particularly in wine, also plays a role in the local economy.
