Additional Information

During this excursion, we’ll explore a stunning natural site near Lisbon, the Arrábida Hills, known for its mesmerizing ocean vistas.
We begin with a stop at the Christ the King viewpoint on the southern shore of the Tagus river, which offers an awe-inspiring, panoramic sweep of the coast extending from Lisbon to Cascais.
Journeying towards Setúbal, we’ll explore Palmela’s medieval castle. From its highest tower, it offers views of the sweeping Alentejo plains and provides an insight into Portugal’s defensive history against Spain in the 14th century.
Our visit in Setúbal includes a stop at the vibrant fishing port and, if available, the renowned fish market. This is a perfect spot for a lunch break where you can enjoy a savory sea-fresh fish meal.
Post-lunch, we ascend to a 400-year old fortress perched on a hill, where we can marvel at the views across the Setúbal bay, learn about the historic location, and enjoy a coffee on a terrace overlooking the ocean.
Prior to our return to Lisbon, we’ll journey to the peaks of the Arrábia mountain range to appreciate its jaw-dropping landscapes.

great day trip - i spent a week in Lisbon, and this day trip was amazing and would recommend to anyone who visits Lisboa. Great sightseeing, great views, very quiet and relaxing. Wine tasting was good, keep in mind there is no tour of the winery itself, but there is so much to see in Arrabida that i am glad we didn't lose too much time in the winery! Our guide was amazing!! 5 stars!

Spent the day with Henrique and it was amazing - We booked the Azeitão and Arrábida Natural Park Private Day Trip from Lisbon. Henrique picked us up right on time from our hotel and it was nothing short of awesome after that. We are both from the states and his English was perfect. He was full of knowledge and was able to answer any questions. Always willing to snap a picture for us or allow as much time as we needed to take our own. Wonderful experience. The sights were breathe taking. I would recommend this experience to one and all! Thank you again Henrique. Carlos & Johanne
