A lively port town located approximately forty kilometres south of Lisbon, Setúbal District rests on the northern bank of the Sado River estuary. It is known for its unspoiled beaches, stunning landscapes, an atmospheric old quarter, and some of the finest seafood restaurants on the Atlantic coast. Attractions include the idyllic beaches of the Troia Peninsula and Arrábida Natural Park, with its turquoise bays and dramatic coastal cliffs. Savour the scenery at Palmela’s beautifully preserved medieval fortress, offering 360-degree views over the region or enjoy a tasting tour of the area’s renowned Moscatel wine estates. Setúbal is also ideal for a heart-thumping adventure, either on land, up in the air, or beneath the waves. From diving to bird and dolphin watching, walking tours, boating or paragliding, the experiences are diverse, and the choice is yours.
