Mesmerising landscape. A lot of beautiful spots. Possibility of doing paddle, canoeing or simply walk.
2. Troia Beach

A nice place to rest during a visit to Lisbon, or Portugal as a whole, especially after some crowded touristic places. This is where nature prevails: the sea, the dunes, the sand, the birds...with very few constructions and a great respect for the environment! Not far from Lisbon for a day trip, or for a few days to better enjoy this unique environment.

It’s easy to get the ferry to Cacilhas and then the bus 101 up to the statue. The park is a peaceful setting with great views of Lisbon and close up to the statue - a good place for a picnic - or you can ride the lift up to the viewing platform for the best views of Lisbon and the Iconic Bridge. Even if you don’t like heights there are very high railings and you will feel safe. There are quite a few narrow steep steps to climb so going to the viewing platform would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. This is a religious place and there is a prayer room and a chapel for those who want it, but non religious folk are made to feel welcome too.
4. Jose Maria de Fonseca
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 309 reviews
Jose Maria da Fonseca is one of Portugal's largest and most prestigious wine companies, begun in 1834 and run with undiminished passion since that date by the same family. The winery is in the charming village of Vila Nogueira de Azeitao, where visitors are welcome to tour the museum and cellars where many of Fonseca's wines are aged, including Periquita, Portugal oldest red wine. Another must-see is the Setubal Moscatel cellar, in which wines as old as the company itself slumber in their hallowed and tranquil vault. These Moscatels belong to the private collection of the Soares Franco family, of whom the sixth generation now heads the company. The tour ends with a wine tasting. At the Wine Shop you may buy that special wine or gourmet regional product for a friend.Tours occurs everyday from 10.00am to 12.00, and from 2.30pm to 5.30pm.

We were treated to an exceptionally well researched and presented tour by Carolina on Saturday. Her depth of knowledge about the family, the wines and Portugal as a whole was admirable and her warmth and hospitality made us feel at home. Highly recommended!
5. Comporta Beach

Spent the day at Comporta. We arrived around 11:30am and paid the €5 for shaded parking close to the board walk. There was plenty of space even on a Sunday. The beach is stunning and it’s worth walking perhaps 1km either right or left of the Cafe to get a secluded spot. As with all of this coast line the water is very cold but beautifully clear. Just be careful of the currents if not a good swimmer...
6. Castelo de Palmela

Really easy castle to walk. Lots of open space for large groups. The inclines aren't that steep, so it's good for kids and stroller/wheelchair access. Not as slippery and narrow as other castles. Has a rather fancy hotel/restaurant attached. Ample parking. Free activity.

If you are around Lisbon, you can rent a car and straight through the XXV April bridge you can enjoy the extraordinary town of Sesimbra. Old fashion town on the straight on the sea with dozen of fresh fish restaurants, shops and bar. The skyline of the ocean is absolutely stunning. You will follow in love. Hight recommended.

Reviewed By MaryleneS - Maputo, Mozambique
The Cabo Espichel may be a bit out of the way and definitely requires a car, but it is worth the effort: in addition to the beautiful landscape, especially during the sunset, it offers a combination of attractions: an historical lighthouse, a beautiful Sanctuary and Hermitage, containing footprints of sauropod dinosaurs and a water house with the ruin of an aqueduct to was bringing the water to the premises. It is said that part of the site is under restauration to house a hotel.
