Arrabida and Sesimbra Day Trip
Tired of the city? On this day trip you will immerse yourself in the Arrábida natural park, visiting picturesque hamlets and even vineyards (a tasting in a winery is included!).
Arrabida and Sesimbra Day Trip
Leaving Lisbon at 9 am, the tour crosses the Tajo by the impressive Vasco da Gama Bridge, on the way to Arrábida.
With Lisbon 50 km behind us, the tour makes a stop in Setúbal, to climb up to the Palmela Castle. From there you can enjoy the best views of the city and the bay of the River Sado.
Crossing Pamela, the white wine producing region, you will enjoy its unique landscape made up of vineyards and cork trees, typical of this area. Here we will stop at a family winery to enjoy a 4 wine tasting menu.
Now in the Arrábida national park, the tour reaches its highest point, at 500m above sea level, where we can enjoy a panorama of the park and the beaches lining the Atlantic Ocean in the distance.
The tour then returns down the hill, to Portinho da Arrábida beach. During summer there will be free time here for anyone who wants to have a swim.
When it's time to eat we will make our way towards Sesinmbra, a charming fishing village where you will have free time to eat.
Ater eating the tour makes its way to Azeitão, a tiny hamlet where we will visit the old wineries; again enjoying a tasting of 2 different wines.
The tour returns to Lisbon over the 25th April Bridge, but before crossing will make a brief stop by the Cristo Rey statue to enjoy the views of Lisbon
