Activity itinerary

25 de Abril Bridge (Pass by)

Marvel at one of Europe's most iconic suspension bridges, stretching majestically over the Tagus River and connecting Lisbon to the south bank. Built in 1966 and strikingly similar to San Francisco's Golden Gate, this beloved landmark offers breathtaking views of the city, the river and the towering Cristo Rei statue watching over it all.

Cristo Rei, Almada

20m
Admission ticket not included

Stand at the feet of one of Portugal's most iconic monuments, a towering statue of Christ with arms outstretched over the Tagus River and the city of Lisbon beyond. Take the lift to the viewing platform and be rewarded with one of the most spectacular panoramas in the country, stretching from the Ponte 25 de Abril all the way to the Serra da Arrábida. The entry is not included and costs a total of 8EUR per person.

Castelo de Palmela

Explore a magnificent hilltop castle whose origins stretch back to the Moorish occupation, commanding sweeping views over the Setúbal Peninsula, the Tagus estuary and the distant Atlantic. Once a stronghold of the Knights of Santiago, this beautifully preserved fortress is today home to a renowned pousada, blending centuries of history with an unforgettable setting.

Mercado do Livramento

Step into one of Portugal's most beautiful municipal markets, a stunning early 20th century building in the heart of Setúbal adorned with magnificent azulejo panels depicting scenes of local life and tradition. Browse stalls overflowing with fresh fish, local produce and regional specialities, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of a market that has been the beating heart of the city for generations.

7ª Bataria de costa

Discover a fascinating piece of Portugal's coastal defence history, a well-preserved artillery battery perched above the Arrábida coastline with commanding views over the sea. Built to protect the Setúbal estuary from naval attack, this evocative military site offers a unique glimpse into the strategic importance of this stretch of coastline and the remarkable engineering of its time.

Parque Natural da Arrábida

Lose yourself in one of Portugal's most spectacular natural treasures, a protected park where dramatic limestone cliffs plunge into crystal-clear turquoise waters and lush Mediterranean forest cloaks the hillsides. Home to rare wildlife, hidden beaches and sweeping coastal panoramas, the Arrábida Natural Park is a haven of unspoiled beauty just a short drive from Lisbon.

Sesimbra

Discover one of the most charming fishing villages on the Portuguese coast, nestled between the Serra da Arrábida and the sea beneath a dramatic Moorish castle.
