Guide of Setúbal District

The district of Setúbal is known to be a true cradle of nature: it will awaken your senses with its varied smells and colors. Easily accessible by transport from Lisbon, it is the ideal destination for visitors who wish to make new discoveries, explore the Portuguese coast or simply take a moment of calm in a postcard setting.

To discover this nature, there is nothing like visiting the Parque Natural da Arrábida, a small wilderness area with breathtaking landscapes and a variety of animal life. You can also go for a walk along the fishing ports of the Costa Azul coastline or simply get lost in the alleys of the towns to discover their vestiges.

Nature is not the only attraction of the region: in Almada, for example, there are viewpoints offering a unique view of the city of Lisbon such as the Cristo Rei statue and the Boca do Vento elevator.
