From Lisbon, a Day of Tastes, Views & Heritage

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your Lisbon accommodation or cruise port. As you journey toward Arrábida National Park, prepare to be awestruck by the dazzling views over the Sado estuary, recognized as one of the world’s most beautiful bays. Along the way, pause at scenic overlooks for unforgettable photos of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll also glimpse the historic Arrábida Convent before arriving in the heart of Setúbal.

In Setúbal, immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of the Livramento Market. This historic market, over 145 years old, is adorned with traditional “Azulejos” tiles depicting scenes of daily life in the region. Discover an incredible array of fresh seafood, learn about local fish varieties, and pick up tips on how to prepare them like a true Portuguese chef.

Next, indulge in a memorable lunch at a beloved fisherman’s restaurant. There’s no set menu, as your meal is crafted from the morning’s catch, which could include Sea Bream, Sea Bass, Swordfish, Sardines, Horse Mackerel, Cuttlefish, and more. Enjoy simple, delicious side dishes just like the local fishermen do. Whether you’re feeling adventurous or prefer to keep things classic, your guide will help tailor the meal to your taste and preferences.

If time allows cap off your day with a visit to the São Filipe Fortress, one of Portugal’s earliest star-shaped fortifications. Built between 1580 and 1600, this historic site offers sweeping views over Setúbal and the Sado River.
