Albufeira lagoon

Stop to visit the Albufeira lagoon, a popular spot for kayaking, kitesurfing, and windsurfing. You’ll also visit the largely unexplored beach at Praia das Bicas, and take in the views of the ocean from the cliffs above, with the Sintra ridge in the background.

Cabo Espichel

At Cabo Espichel you’ll visit the sanctuary and church of Nossa Senhora do Cabo and the aqueduct, and then make a brief stop to see the dinosaur footprints.

Sesimbra Castle

Head up to the Sesimbra Castle and take in the views of the fishing village below. Your driver will then take you into Sesimbra, a fishing village located on a calm bay, where you can enjoy fish and seafood of exceptional quality and take a walk along the breakwater near the beach.

Portinho da Arrábida

You’ll make your way down through Portinho da Arrábida to an idyllic white sand beach at the mouth of the Sado River. Enjoy a climb up to the top of the ridge to marvel at the incredible views! To the north, you’ll be able to see the entire city of Lisbon and the surrounding mountains, and to the south, you’ll have views of the crystal-clear blue sea, islets, the Tróia peninsula, and the city of Setúbal.

Is accommodation included?

Hotel nights with breakfast and airport transfers are included in this package.

Do the days have to be consecutive?

No. Tell us your dates when you book and we spread the days across your stay; many guests leave a free day in Lisbon between tours.

Are monument tickets included?

Pena Palace on the Sintra day is included where the package says so; other tickets are paid at the entrance and we can pre-book them for you.

Is it cheaper than booking the days separately?

Yes. The pack price is lower than the sum of the individual tours, and you deal with one booking and one guide for the whole stay.

Can we change one of the days?

Yes. Any day can be swapped for another of our tours of similar length; contact us before booking and we adjust the price if needed.
