The 37 best neighborhoods to see in Setubal

Good place for walking with geat views over the coast and inland. Most of the paths we have taken so far are reasonable but some of the mapped routes online need some updating. there are wild boar around but we didn't " bump" into any. uber is cheap here so you can either do circular routes or get an user back if you start finish on a road as we did.

Stunning views on the south side of Setúbal. This highway is one you want to swap drivers just so both people have a chance to look out into the ocean 😋. If you go in the evening it may be less busy.

Fantastic beach. Bit of a steep walk to get to the ocean but was manageable with a 2yr old. Shame the restaurants at the front had no simple food options and both are 100% not suitable for children. Really let the place down. Had to leave and go elsewhere for lunch and dinner.

It’s was awesome when you reach top of the mountain. You forget your tiredness. I love hiking so it’s was fantastic for me…!

A beautiful place to beach hop in and take in some stunning views.

So stunning.. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful natural park in Portugal.

Delightful, relaxing park with different events going on (I noticed three). A concert, a talk and interview attended by a significant intellectual type crowd and a book show. I might have pics, if I do then I shall post them. Has lovely views of the river Duoro! A Porto gem!

Nice fort to visit. Very beautiful place im Setubal It is possible to drive all the way up to this castle. Parking was available. Beautiful view of tha bay and the city. Plus for having a restaurant / cafe at the top. Nice to enjoy a glass of wine with this view . Good place for a date with your loved one.

Scenic viewpoint to the city of Setubal, Troia and the Sado river. The parking and entry are free and there is a small cafe on top. Sadly, the trip was quite short since you can only visit the roofs of the castle. The interior is closed to the public.

Incredible views overlooking the water and the lands. Cool sitting area to stop and feel conquery inside after viewing the somber and elegant chapel.

really cool place to check out. we walked from the beach up, about 2km and worth it. if you need motivation there’s a cafe for a beer and espresso up top.

Well preserved forte built in the 1500's Beautiful views of the Setubal bay and Troia insula. Definitely worth a visit!

Worth the drive. Interesting place, super view, and restaurant for a drink and snack.

A medieval Castle worth visiting. Spectacular views a Setubal town from the top.

The water is freezing and the sand scorching. It could have better infrastructure with more hammocks and sunshades. It was 41 degrees today which is unbearable for most people. On the good side, it has a beautiful deck leading to the beach and the marine is beautiful.

Have died and gone to heaven. Was introduced to Troia by a tour guide when we visited the National Park Arrabida and I knew straight away Troia was where I was going to stay for my last 3 days in Portugal. The Troia Peninsula is very similar to the Whitsundays in Australia. The sand is soft and white, and being a sand snob I would rate it 9/10 and especially so when low tide you can walk across the vast sand banks out to the Atlantic. No seaweed and the water is calm, although freezing/refreshing. Troia sand, views and waters beat Albufeira, Carvoeiro - the Algarve in general by a long shot! It is even better than Cascais but equivalent to natural beauty Adraga. Adraga has waves for those wave catchers. Renting a shared lounge is expensive, €25 for the entire day. Well worth travelling out here, off the beaten track! Lifeguards are at every beach around Troia and they even help kids in wheelchairs to get from the boardwalk to the beach! Great service Troia Rescue. How to get here / heaven: 1) Bolt/Uber from Lisbon to Setubal wharf (Atlantic ferry) = €25-35 and can take 45-60mins. Train is about €10. 2) Passenger Return ferry or speed boat is €9-10 leaving every hour during weekdays and almost every 30mins on weekends. They allow dogs on the ferry! 3) There is also the option of driving your vehicle over via Atlantic Ferry as well. 4) Troia itself is quite small so you can walk everywhere with well designated footpaths and boardwalks. The supermarket is pretty good, has almost everything including roast chicken. Portuguese people are friendly and it felt safe

Crystal clear water, easy to reach by Ferry from Setubal Atlantic ferries station that has a trip every hour. And then walk for 10 mins. There’s a small bar that has Beer, water, Cola, …etc close to the beach. There are Chaseloungs and Umbrellas. No shower rooms, only WC

If you’re looking for an unspoiled, peaceful beach far from the typical tourist crowds, Tróia Beach is a true gem. Located on the Tróia Peninsula, directly across the bay from Setúbal, this spot offers stunning views and a rare sense of calm – even in the heart of summer. The crystal-clear waters shimmer with shades of turquoise, and the long, sandy shoreline is perfect for barefoot walks, sunbathing, or simply listening to the waves. It’s a free beach, meaning no umbrellas, no beach bars – just pure, untouched nature. Even during peak season, you’ll often find yourself alone or with just a few others around. It truly feels like a deserted paradise. 🚗 How to get there: The most scenic and convenient way to reach Tróia is by ferry from Setúbal: The car and passenger ferry departs regularly from the Setúbal ferry terminal (Terminal Fluvial) and takes about 25 minutes to reach Tróia. Alternatively, you can take the passenger-only catamaran, which is slightly faster and perfect if you’re not bringing a car. Once you arrive, the beach is easy to access on foot or by bike. Some areas are completely wild, so it's a good idea to bring water, food, and everything you need for a relaxing day by the sea.

Incredible beach— can’t say enough good things about it! My family and I absolutely adore it. We’ve been staying in Setúbal for the past week, and we’ve been visiting this beach almost every day. The beach takes a bit of work to get to, but it’s absolutely worth it. The ferry from Setúbal to Tróia is €26.40 for 3 people. It’s a 12-15 minute ride, and it’s a lovely experience. The views are gorgeous, and I’d recommend taking the 7:30 pm ferry back to Setúbal to catch the sunset. Once you arrive on the peninsula, you walk about 20-25 minutes along a wooden boardwalk to reach the beach. It’s a picturesque walk, and you get to pass a outdoor cat colony. The cats are so sweet, and they appear to be cared for by the locals. The beach is magnificent. There was a warm breeze every day we were there, which kept the flies away. The sand is so soft and sparkly and not too hot. For context, we are visiting in late September. The water is cold, but you can definitely acclimate. It’s so blue, clear, and clean. At low tide, there are amazing sand bars, and you can walk pretty far out. I was also able to collect some gorgeous shells. Finally, there are ample trash cans and a clean bathroom. This beach as everything I want in a beach. I truly adore it.

Best bathing beach we have found. The water is beautiful and clear and not even too cold

What a lovely beach. It’s very kid friendly and you can explore what feels like miles of beaches. The sand texture is nice and the water is beautiful.

This open air fish and produce market (primarily) was an amazing experience. It was a definite example of sustainable living.

Best fish market I’ve ever been to. Quite an incredible experience!! It’s a must-go for any visitor to the city

Excellent market with huge variety of fish & crustaceans as well as fruits & vegetables, meats, breads and cakes. Highly recommended for a lively experience of a market appreciated not only by tourists but more importantly by local residents.

Absolutely one of the best markets to visit. Incredible fresh fruit and vegetables, plus the the most fresh fishery to buy anything you desire. You can also enjoy some fresh oysters and drink wine while at the market.

Loved this market...didn't know what expect but pleasantly surprised..ended up walking up and down ...marvelling at the produce and deciding what to buy 🤔 loved the statues that tell the story of the market history... ( some videos have strobe effect)

One of the best Mercado, certainly better than the one in Lisbon. Bright and airy and beautiful tiles

Well worth a visit plenty to see very nice coffee in Bloomy and food

Paradise Beautiful Ocean views

Spectacular views and what a drive through the mountain.

Nice view but nothing more. Some photos are not linked with this place. There is no beach you can reach from this place....

Took a moped up to the top, breath taking views on both sides. Great view of the peninsula and sintra.

Beautiful place, great landscapes

Great landscape

Top

well kept castle ruins. unfortunately losts of it were closed for no apparent reason? stunning views from the castle walls towards Lisbon and out towards the bay. its free plenty of parking and no queues. nice restaurant just down the road. Worth visiting if you are thus way

Magnificent historical site with amazing views! No fees, no waits, free parking! Enjoy the amenities in the luxury hotel located inside the castle or in the sorrounding Palmela village, historical sites, wineries, and delicious food.

To a Brit, it’s always surprising how crumbling castles are left to roam in Portugal (whereas they’d all be roped off with health-and-safety signs back home). There’s not much to see of the interior, but it’s very pleasant to be able to wander round the intact walls and ruins, and you get some lovely views of Palmela from the top.

A gem of a site to check out. I hear it is not that busy here most times. If you love the ancient ruins and history this is a place worth going to. Some very nice vantage points for some great pictures.

Castle grounds with a small museum inside which is free. Very beautiful and amazing that they kept it all free. The views are very beautiful! Definitely recommend. It was not very crowded so findingbparking was easy and also free.

Beautiful castle, we stayed at the adjacent hotel and walked the castle grounds in the morning around 10am and it was not busy. Learning about the interesting history of this castle was a lot of fun.

The location is great the views are fantastic and the hotel is just brilliant really enjoyed my stay.

Even if you book a guided tour, because you're expected to get to a different place to buy ticket, then relocate to the palace immediately. The hosts offer no help or explaination.

I had an incredible tour with João at the Palácio da Bacalhôa. The views are amazing

Tourist trap! The way this is conducted is focused in showing Berardo´s collection of things. The palace itself is beautiful and that is what should be the highlight. They should also find a way to incorporate the tasting there, so logistics for this tour is horrible. Wouldn´t go again.

great tour where you could hear the whole story about the royal family and the winery's past. the tour was educational but upbeat and interactive!

Stunningly beautiful, the guided tour was very informative and interesting, highly recommended!

Beautiful venue where no guest will remain indifferent to the scenery or to the historical “weight” it bears, having been built in the 11th century.

We had a tour guided and we had oportunity to visit Bacalhoa Palace, Villa and wine production. You can see history of Bacalhoa company and particular arts pieces from the owner. In the final of visit you can taste three types of Bacalhoa wines. Great place to visit and knows a little bit about Portugal wine history.

Very nice place to spend time and relax. There are trees near the fountain where you get good shadow during hot day. There are quite a few restaurants around this square. Also the small lanes that lead from this square has good amount of restaurants and gives a glimpse of history of this town.

Nice place to relax in Setúbal! Praça de Bocage is a good spot to sit and enjoy the city. The cafés are affordable and everything is nearby shops, restaurants and the port. Sometimes there are musicians playing but they often repeat the same songs and aren’t always the best. Still, it’s a pleasant place for a coffee and people watching.

What a beautiful plaza. We were pleasantly surprised because the Lonely Planet guide we had barely mentioned Setúbal. I'm surprised it didn't mention how beautiful the plaza is. I think it's one of the prettiest we've seen so far in Portugal. Plenty of cafes around to sip coffee and people-watch.

A beautiful square in Setubal, with typical Portuguese streets lined with small restaurants and shops of all kinds. A pleasant atmosphere... especially a calm, charming town.

Beautifull place on the edge of the square

So many colors, so much saturation

nice square with cafes, Church, Statue and place to relax by the fountain.

Absolutely stunning beach with a wonderful view!! Warm water, beautiful sand, and small waves. Perfect place if you wanna swim all day. If you are coming from Lisboa, you can either take a train or bus to come to Setúbal, and from the center you can take another bus which will leave you literally in front of the beach, it’s very accessible in this way. One minus point is that the bus was packed with others, it can be an uncomfortable experience if they’re considerate people around themselves given that bus needs keep turning around the way.

Beautiful beach with some parking around and a bus stop. Has some drink stands and a cafe with bathrooms. Wide beach with a sandbar that was exposed at low tide. Water was cool but about the warmest I have felt yet in Portugal. Overall, beautiful!

If you like to spend a day on a beach packed like canned sardine, it’s perfect for you. The water is clear and calm so it’s nice for swimming, especially for families, but it’s too crowded. You can rent a pair of sun-chairs and an umbrella for 20€, but big families rent just a pair and put blankets in between. Hard to park, Uber from Lissabon is from 34€ and we got scammed (the driver marked he was there but he wasn’t).

one of the nicest beaches if you don’t wanna move too far from setúbal. there’s a bus you can take literally from anywhere in the city and it drops you footsteps away from the beach. amazing. that said: it’s so easy to get there that there’s always lots of people. but the sand is almost white, the water is really clear and with beautiful color and there’s no waves, almost like a really cold (atlantic ocean 🙃) pool. it’s worth going 🙌🏼

Beautiful backstage, water is warmer. Very safe for kids.

One of my favourite beaches, as it has a lot of space, restaurants, parking and bus routes. Water is cold but you can't get everything you want in life ahah. Very easy access, perfect for anyone that might have kids or disabilities.

Beautiful beach. Stay into late afternoon to get an awesome surprise.

Very interesting. You should visit. With bar and restaurant.

Lovely pit stop to the Blue House that is also tourist office. Was welcomed in and invited to visit the Dolphin Exhibition which was small but mighty and lots great information about Setubul Dolphins 🐬 and Ecological Systems.

Nice tourist information centre with local wines shop, small museum about the local dolphins which we found very interesting, small cafe (most expensive and worst coffee and pastry I have had in Portugal yet, better to go to a local cafe) you can sit inside or outside, both are pretty. Small art exhibition too. Very classy tourist information I have ever been in. Nice to visit. Would not recommend the tourist train outside - audio didn’t work and it was a very bumpy ride! Also didn’t see great spots - better to just walk around yourself.

We had walked by this beautiful building many times and we finally stopped in. It is a collection of many things that were nice individually but they did not quite flow together. There is a dolphin museum, an art gallery, two fancy stores, and at least one restaurant. Everything was super nice, including the people that greeted us, but the Casa was simply not for us. Admission is free.

Very nice place to get advice, rest a while and visit the toilets if you need to. There is a shop selling local food stuff incl. wine, and t-shirts. There is also a small art exhibition for local artists.

It’s a beautiful and stylishly decorated place. Good wine choice from Setubal peninsular producers. To consume on-site is a bit pricey in Portuguese terms though. There is a lovely small museum, explaining on marine life of peninsular.

Nice place where you can get Tourist information. A nice decorated place where you can sit in or outside. In the summer there is live music. A nice cofre shop where you can taste the drinks and specialties of the Setúbal área.

Must go to beach when in setubal, beautiful views, mostly clean water, warm water and great restaurants and bars. Lacking on the accessibility and parking, as you are not allowed to park there, only bikes. Romantic atmosphere clean and quite...

Great beach.Not very crowded.Plenty of parking spaces along the road.There is a bar,shower and locker room.Expect water to be cold as is the ocean.The sand is not fine,but its grains are round,pleasant to walk in.Very relaxing place.

Very nice beach. Peaceful. The only challenge is the parking. You will have to park on the street and go walking down the hill to the beach.

Beautiful natural picturesque beach, cliffs and trees behind, lots of natural shady spots, calm sea, lots of fish, slightly warmer water due to it's proximity to Tróia, enclosing the water and keeping it a little warmer.. easy access, plenty of on road parking, numerous refreshments, areas with sun beds and sunshades for hire/rental, all in all a very nice spot..

We loved it. It was quiet, good people, the little bar was opened to get cold drinks, the bathroom was clean, baywatch present on the beach. I highly recommend it. The restaurant on the beach it was closed and didn't seem to open in the near future.

Praia de Albarquel is a beautiful beach located close to Setúbal, with calm waters and a relaxed atmosphere. It is not very large, but it offers a peaceful environment that makes it ideal for families and people who want to enjoy a quiet day by the sea. The sand is clean, the water is clear, and the view of the Arrábida mountains in the background makes it a very picturesque spot. There are also some restaurants and cafés nearby, which makes it convenient to spend the whole day at the beach without needing to move far. It is a great option for those looking for a balance between nature and comfort, with easy access from the city.

Albarquel is a clean beach with quite fine sand. The access is easy, free parking. There are 2 beach bars where you can buy water and cold beer and there is a restaurant. To rent umbrellas and sun loungers there are 2 options. 1 umbrella+ 2 sun loungers = 20€ all day, from 9 to 19h. Besides WC and showers are available for free.

Very beautiful beach with a clear water! There are small rocks when you enter the ocean, so it is a bit tricky to enter, yet the temperature of the water is very worthy.

Beautiful beach with a stunning cenary of pure nature with background of the mountain. The water is cold but refreshing and clear. We visited in May and at that time it was quiet and peaceful, not too many people. In low tide is possible to walk all the way down passing the rocks. Although parking isn't easy but is well worth the visit. Highly recommended.

Beautiful beach. Very clear water, where you can see lots of fish. There is a rocky area but that is a very small part in the corner of the beach. The beach is very clean and clear, full of beautiful crystal clear water. I highly recommend

Fantastic beach with great spots for snorkling. Bit tricky to find parking sp be early to ensure a space. Driving here will give you some spectacular views

Breathtaking place. Super crystal water, rather cool, but perfect to cool down. There are several restaurants, rent activities. Water and Mountain View the most perfect nature combination!

Beautiful beach 1 hour drive from Lisbon, not suitable to go there by public transport. Best to go there early. Parking is available for 5€ for the entire day. There is a section at the beach with lounge chairs but the majority is opened for umbrellas and towels. The ocean is clean and the water is very calm, suitable for children.

One of the most superb views in Portugal with a wide panoramic view over the River Sado and the sea and mountain of Arr]abida. When visiting the beach, it is almost impossible to park. There is a cement works 12 km before arriving where you can leave your car

Average panorama view of the city, not the good side of the city though

Lovely view across the water to Tróia and Arrábida. Can also sit outside and have drinks and food at two cafes

Beautiful views, but it was full of teenagers hanging out. We enjoyed a drink on the patio of the Cafe Costa Azul instead (same view)

Great view even though its nite time

Beautiful views across the bay towards Troia....also a couple of great little cafés yard away to enjoy the view over a nice Coffee and cake.

Small and cozy place. Wonderful view where you can see the entire bay and can still feel the spirit of Setúbal.

Nice view, but better is from Sao Filippe. Nice azulejhos!

Nice place opposite the sea Unfortunately it was not well maintained with a lots of garbage 🗑 full

The park is located right in front of the river, very close to the access to catamaran boats that can transport you to the other side, where you can visit Tróia. In one of its sides, you can also visit a seafood restaurant. Usually the place has lots of people fishing as well. Despite the good location and views, unfortunately the place is very degradated with the grass very dry and usually dirt (despite the presence of garbage bins). If it wasn't for that, it would be a nice place for picnics. In the park there's also an abandoned facility that used to be a nice café - now it's just a dirt and broken monolith of concrete and glass. You can also find a playground for kids in there, which unfortunately doesn't have any shadow to protect them from the Sun. Overall, a nice place to pass by.

its very quiet park and next to the sea side.

A pleasant garden at the water's edge, with shady and sunny seating. Lots of people come here to fish in the estuary.

Amazing chill spot.

Setubal is a biautiful place

Very nice and historic place in Setubal. Can relax or do a jog while children play at the playground. There is a restaurant by the bay.

Well worth the hype. This place is sooo busy but the staff still remains gracious. The cuttlefish is a really nice, chewy but meaty texture. Paired with the salad and fries was really delicious. I recommend this place.

"The King of Fried Cuttlefish"! That's literally the name of this restaurant and i believe they live up to it. While i was going out and about in Setúbal after a work appointment, i couldn't pass the chance of stopping by for some traditional fried cuttlefish, a dish who came to be one of the cities main attractions. Casa Santiago was the best rated restaurant within the area i was located and i went in without hesitation. Arrived early (around 12am) and i'm glad i did, because shortly after people started lining up outside hoping to get a table. I was promptly presented with the menu even though the choice was obvious and previously established, something i believe the employees are well aware of. The food was delicious. The cuttlefish was cooked to perfection, well seasoned, with the right chewy texture, the fries were reminiscent of those home fried fries my grandmother used to make and frankly it really hit the spot. Washed it up with some 7Up for a change as i always prefered "white sodas" to go with fish. The desserts are somewhat basic, so i went with some Ben&Jerry's which is utterly overpriced, to be frank. I was served by the same lady throughout my time there and she was very professional and attentive. Don't be surprised if they start to fasten the pace of coming to your table asking if you need anything when you're finishing your meal. Without being impolite, they know how to prompt you to finish as they desperatly need tables for the new costumers. It's all good. Certified "must stop" for everyone!

The best choco frito ever. First visit on 2017, second 2019 and now 2025...still the same taste...amazing😁

Quick service and an attentive waiter. The space is traditional, spacious, and well-lit. We had the Choco Frito and veal steak, both were excellent (fish slightly better). For dessert, we tried the Doce de Bolacha, a biscuit dessert crushed and blended with cream. It’s tasty. Prices are reasonable, offering great value for money.

This restaurant is great. My friend brought me here. We arrived at 19:00 on Monday afternoon. Some people were already seated, but there were still some empty seats. Later, all seats were full. You should know that this is Monday, not Friday night, which shows that many people like this place. Next, let's talk about the food. The choco frito is delicious. I was so hungry that I kept eating it. The portion of his dishes is very large. For the two of us, we were very full after eating a large choco set meal. But I have to say that if you keep eating choco, you will get a little greasy in the end because it is fried. I suggest you order some other dishes to go with it. Although the decoration is not luxurious, I suggest sitting outside to eat so that you can see some scenery of the pier. It's a very good restaurant. I will recommend it to my friends, and the price is very affordable.

My favorite spot every time I visit Setúbal! Casa Santiago serves the best Choco Frito in town — crispy, flavorful, and always delicious. They don’t take reservations and it’s always busy, so arrive early. You might wait over an hour, especially on weekends, but it’s 100% worth it.

It was our first time trying Choco Frito. We were not amused. It felt like eating rubber. Couldn't finish. The fries were good though. We did not go during peak hour so got the table and service was quick. A bit overpriced for the food and service

We were unable to find the direct track from the road down to the beach so instead walked along from the nearby beach at low tide. Had the beach to ourselves (april) which made it wonderful. Apparently this beach was voted the number one in Europe in 2017. It was nice but I have been on nicer beaches.

This is the most beautiful beach I’ve been to! The water is clear and fresh. The beach was not touristy at all! The sun really hits there but the wind makes it feel a bit colder than it actually is - wear sunscreen all the time! My friend and i did book a kayak tour (it’s on getyourguide!!) and it was fantastic! This beach is everything to me ❤️

One of the most beautiful beaches I have been too. Water was clear and calm during early July afternoon. We spot some fish/es as well. It was not too crowded and very pretty. If you are more than 3 or 4 people, best to rent a car to go there. The public transport was not working when I went there. There are stairs to go down to the beach but you can also do a small "hike" trail. Love this place.

Beautiful beach, can be a long walk because there are so many people parking down the road it can be very difficult to get any parking - I would recommend the free shuttle bus. The water was crystal clear and lovely to swim in.

very pretty beach but quite a walk to get to. part of the beach gets cut off at high tide so be careful. only one place to eat so book early. a couple of loos at the restraint but none at the other end of the beach.

It’s a little hard to get there in the summer thanks to the convoluted road restrictions and lack of information about parking and access, but worth persevering to get here. It’s a really nice bay, with very gentle sea and shallow waves (so no body boarding or surfing). All generally very clean thanks to some hard-working litter pickers

Great beach, not much space as a tiny stretch of sand but the views and atmosphere is well worth it. National park on your back with its green hill and the clear blue water ocean in front of you. Not to miss! Parking is a big problem...go early. Don’t litter!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at JMF. Booked a private tour and tasting. The staff was knowledgeable, passionate, and very welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The setting was beautiful, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax and take it all in.

We had a lovely time in this charming and sometimes haunting winery. The old world charm and shadowy cellars were full of deep rich smells and ancient cobwebs and haunting Gregorian chants. The staff was friendly and the wines were amazing. We bought a few bottles.

We booked the €117 package for two people, which included lunch and a guided visit with wine tasting. To begin with, I sent an email asking for a few clarifications. I must say, the response I received was very promising. The lady who replied, Margarida Almeida, was extremely kind and helpful, leaving a great first impression. Upon arrival, we were directed to the restaurant where our table was already reserved. The meal was simply delicious—truly a highlight. After lunch, we joined the guided tour of the estate. We waited just a short while, and the guide arrived right on time. Her name was Matilde, and we were lucky to be the only ones on that tour. Since it was our 10th wedding anniversary on July 25th, having what felt like a private tour made the experience even more special. Matilde herself was the cherry on top. Her friendliness, deep knowledge of the place, attentiveness, and calm, thoughtful way of explaining everything turned the visit into something unexpectedly delightful. The tour ended with a wine tasting of four wines: one white, two reds, and one Moscatel. But since we were celebrating our 10-year anniversary, Matilde surprised us with a 10-year-old Moscatel—and what a difference compared to the younger one! And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, she brought us a 20-year-old Moscatel, which was absolutely mind-blowing. All in all, I would say that people like Margarida and Matilde truly make a difference. Thanks to them, our experience went beyond expectations and became something truly exceptional.

A winery with lots of history and great wines. We took a tour and had a tasting. Very informative tour and beautiful property and gardens.

Nice tour on the history of the winery, a unique view on the cellars and a nice tasting at the end. Really worth the visit (and the price )

Had a tour and wine tasting here. The woman doing the tour was amazing and friendly (though I think more info in the wine rather than estate would be more interesting) The cellars were impressive. We took the Super paremium tasting : 2015 white pasmados (very interesting!), 2017 Periquita superior (meh, too oaky and smoky for me) and 20yrs moscatel blend (very good) -1 for rip-off juice price for kids: 8.5€ per small glass of simple bottled pear juice, 17€ total. Not cool…

The guided visit to the Casa Museu and the wineries of José Maria da Fonseca in Azeitão includes the story of a family that is motivated by perseverance, the will to create something new without forgetting the past. The guided tour takes about 45 minutes and begins from the beautiful house where the family of José Maria da Fonseca, the visionary once lived. The visit then continues through the vineyards to the wineries (Adega da Mata & Adega dos Teares Velhos) and Adega da Frasqueira (a private collection of Muscat wine – one of its own kind in the world!). At the end of the visit is the wine tasting, experiencing what is best produced there. The tasting includes two different types of wine, red and rose muscatel. It's different but nice experience.

What a magic day with Anna’s English tour and beautiful English speaking staff at reception! 6💶for a 1hour tour at the winery and 3 wine tasting! Remember to check the tour time before you arrive which will be more efficient! Really appreciated!

This was the only winery I shopped at on the trip. They are the only one in the region that produces a fine wine caliber and does a proper tasting. If you want actual wine and a proper experience, this is your place. The statues and gardens are nice too.

Large winery with several varieties of reds, whites and moscatels. We didn’t have a reservation but arrived just in time for the English-version of the museum tour. Interesting tour of the barrel storage facility. The “museum” part after that consisted of several artists and some African art and I could have done without most of that. They were very generous with the wine tasting and even opened 3 extra bottles of wines for me afterwards to taste. Very nice staff. Worth a stop and next time I want to try the palace and gardens tour.

We had an amazing wine tasting experience with our friends, guided by Beatriz. She was absolutely fantastic and incredibly charismatic, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Her knowledge and passion for the wines really shone through, adding a special touch to our time at Bacalhôa.

MUST SEE EVENT if your within a few hours away! Top shelf wines but the amazing part is the priceless art collection from 3 outstanding artists. Only $6.00 euros per person with private tour guide. Beautiful zen gardens with rich history and pride of ownership. Wish we could ship cases of wine back stateside. Our tour guides very knowledgeable and English speaking. Everyone spoke good English. Thank you for an outstanding tour.

Looked beautiful on arrival and very interesting grounds but we were not made aware until arrival that bookings were essential for both tours and even to taste! First time visiting a vineyard where you couldn't get a tasting therefore we sadly didn't buy any wine. Sadly we took a detour to visit here and left disappointed.

Strange place, decent wines. The private collection of art in the museum was a bit odd, but always nice to see the barrels and a nice collection of tiles. We had a small wine tasting, all good wines. You're doing the wine tasting in a shop, so atmosphere was a bit boring. We didn't do the palace tour which is a different place.

Love it here but they should add more activity for children like any slide or swing.

Very nice, relaxing place for all the family. Trees, grass, playground for the kids, spots for different activities, all with the sights and sounds of the waves of the Sado river right there.

Great parque with a great view. Grass,playground for children, a coffee bar, public toilets.

Great park, lots of share and access to the waterline. Very nice kids playground and it is mostly quiet. Always having a good time 😊

Hidden gem! Walked on from Rockalot bar on Praia da Saúde because it was absolutely packed. Discovered this absolute gem in the park beyond. Nestled amongst the trees (excellent on a hot day) serving light lunches, snacks etc. Very relaxing, with views through the trees ti the water. Tried a tasty salad, washed down with icy cold beer which was perfect! Well worth a stroll!

It's a bit too crowded during weekends, but you can still find a place to be away from other people.

Beach and garden in one space. Ideal for relaxing reading a book while children play soccer or exercise. It has good shade places where you can spread a towel and sleep, low priced restaurants, bar and snack bar. Parking is supervised and toilets always have staff present. The beach has no lifeguards, usually strong sea currents. You can take your food and have a picnic.

A place really worth to visit despite the long queue and waiting time.

A fascinating church and upper choirs! For visiting the upper choirs you need to go into the museum; the church has an entrance from the side of the building and seems to be open at different times than the museum. I recommend to read a small booklet which is available on the upper choirs entrance to understand this gem better. I also found a mummy thanks to this booklet. Soon the museum will be fully open, right now the part of it is under renovation. But the museum and the church are worth visit anyway and now it is free of charge. Also nice people work there. Thank you for preserving this place!

Great place to visit. Have been restaured recently, they are still hading some tiles.

3 Euros to get in and freely walk around. Inside it's very nice and still some remodeling going on. But that shouldn't affect your experience.

I have lived in Setubal for six years but only just visited the recently renovated and newly-curated exhibition... and it is amazing. Highly recommend the upstairs choir and gallery spaces, they are fantastic ...

Very beautiful and rich museum that leads you through the history of Setúbal with the help of archaeological finds, architecture and art. Very friendly staff and great place to visit.

This is a beautiful Midevil Church. Currently being renovated Re open Sept 15 2024

Small but interesting museum in the centre of town. We spent about a thirty minutes visiting and looking at the exhibits.

Very interesting exhibition.i highly recommend the audio guide You can hear songs that farmers and workers sang .

This is a very well curated museum focused on the sardine trade and the music associated with the work. The audio tour in multiple languages is great.

Underrated and underhyped. Such a cool museum. Definitely get an audio guide !!

Superb exhibitions about daily life for working people, including an entire shop interior and many of the features of the canning factory the museum is housed in. 1.55€ for adults, free for over 65. Free audio guides in English.

Friendly and helpful staff, cheap entrance and a fascinating insight into the workers in the canning industry. Cool to visit the cafés on the hill outside also with view of estuary, docks, railway and old houses. Obrigado!

Great museum and an intro to the sardine industry of Portugal. It will only take half an hour to go through the museum but I would gladly spend an hour or so reading and watching all the displays they have.

Peaceful Spiritual Historical. I really connected with Sao Juliao

Beautiful church

Very beatiful. There is a square where sometimes they make a fair. Now there is the christmas fair.

Quiet place to sit and admire the beauty, especially the tile images

A beautiful catholic church right at the heart of town. It is located at Praca de Bocage.

Great architecture, faith is for those who believe in it

Good welcome and beautifull to look at!

Beautiful beach, car parking is not large enough to accommodate all cars in the summer. There are buses serving the beach

really nice beach. accessible by user and a bus. Plenty of things to do, cannoes, paddle boards, paddle boats with slides. great views and ample beach chairs if you want them. A few places to eat one of which we will try later. its a nice day out!

Unfreaking believable. This beach is just so beautiful and ideal for families with small kids. Loads to do, and the drive is so scenic. If you want parking, get there no later than 8h30. otherwise, you park far from the beach. But amazing!

I had a truly peaceful day at Praia do Creiro and it quickly became one of my favorite coastal spots near Sesimbra. The beach is tucked between dramatic cliffs on the Alentejo coast, giving it a sense of secluded charm and natural beauty. The sand is golden and soft, and the water is clear and inviting, ideal for swimming or snorkeling. There are a few seasonal kiosks offering drinks and snacks which are reasonably priced and add to the relaxed atmosphere. The parking is free and the area is well maintained, though during peak summer weekends it can get a bit crowded. I enjoyed taking a long walk along the shore and dipping into the calm waters, then treating myself to a cold drink at one of the kiosks afterward. Praia do Creiro is affordable, accessible, and perfect for anyone looking to escape the city and enjoy a quiet, beautiful beach with a touch of natural elegance.

Really nice beach with good services. Note: just park on the side of the road and wave down one of the many drivers that will offer to drive you down there. €10 for the ride. Portinho beach is right next door and Portinho is a very cute little village with good restaurants.

Such a beautiful beach!! You can take a bus from the center of Setubal and easily walk down from the bus stop. Be mindful of the bus schedule because it doesn’t go as often.

I went yesterday and we found a lot of traffic to arrive there. However, although we arrived around 13h, we found parking spaces, you need to pay 5 euros. I am pregnant and my husband was allowed to bring me and my toddler totally down the road before parking. So i didn’t have to walk the hill, same for picking up. The place was calm and nice, really clean. We enjoyed a lot

Awesome history about the area and country. Worth visiting. FREE ADMISSION

What it lacks in size it makes up for in concise, well presented and easily digest able exhibits. A lovely selection of local artifacts and local artists paintings taking you from the Neolithic to the modern day. And best of all it's free! Well worth a visit.

Entrance is free! A fantastic place to be face-to-face with ancient artifacts. You can see and run your fingers in the grooves of stone menirs from the Neolithic times and marble tombstones from Roman era (one tombstone of a 9-year-old roman slave girl, translated to "May the Earth Be Light On You"). Lots of artifacts from the ancient history of the Setúbal area, going back to the Stone Age, Neolithic, Copper, Bronze, Iron...Roman, Moors, .etc. I found the roman fine dinner ware and glasses interesting, hard to imagine how they made such intricate things. The other half of the museum shows the fishing and cannery industrial of Setúbal. Very quiet museum with hardly anyone. About a two-hour visit.

Free and interesting. Recommend this place but don’t expect much.

Amazing views of Setubal and Troia peninsula.Interesting rooms in fort and hotel common areas

Good little museum, explaining that Homo Sapiens have lived in the area for millennia.

Loved it. Great exhibits, great staff.

Lovely museum. I listened to the English audio guide which was free with entry fee €3 each. A national treasure.

Spectacular. The overall structure has been very nicely renovated, but the real star is the high choir in the first floor, with beautiful wood work and a large collection of reliques and reliquaries in the form of busts. There is even a mummy of a young child with an interesting story behind it. Everything is well explained and the personnel is competent and attentive. Highly recommended visit when coming to Setúbal.

Very open, easy to get around for disabled. SURPRISE! There is a nice cafe with an outdoor space, shaded and cool inside the museum.

Interesting renovated facilities, disappointing content.

This unmissable landmark includes one of the most beautiful Manueline churches and an outstanding Manueline cloister that has been recently restaured and is part of the museum. Parts of the church and cloister are built with a unique local stone called Brecha da Arrábida.

I love the people thath working there no English language speaking but they try hard good service

Beautiful

Small but lovely church

Beautiful little church with a delightful simple cloister and ornate painted altar.

(Translated by Google) One of the churches with the most history in the city: it was inaugurated in the 14th century, although since then it has suffered numerous vicissitudes (1755 earthquake included) to reach where it is today. The current appearance corresponds to remodeling works from the beginning of the 20th century, based on baroque and neoclassical styles. The main façade stands out for its neat white color and the blue touches on the lintel. Good night lighting, (Original) Una de las iglesias con más historia de la ciudad: se inauguró en el siglo XIV, aunque desde entonces ha sufrido numerosas vicisitudes (terremoto de 1755 incluido) hasta llegar hasta donde está hoy. El aspecto actual corresponde a unas obras de remodelación de comienzos del siglo XX, basado en estilos barroco y neoclásico. La fachada principal destaca por su pulcro color blanco y los toques en azul del dintel. Buena iluminación nocturna,

(Translated by Google) We can only see it from the outside and the façade has no special features of note, except for its good state of conservation resulting from recent renovation works. (Original) Apenas a podemos ver do exterior não tendo a fachada motivos especiais de relevo, exceto o bom estado de conservação resultado das recentes obras de reabilitação.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, simple church, but in my opinion, beautiful. (Original) Una iglesia preciosa sencilla pero para mí gusto preciosa

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church 🙏🙌 I miss Portugal, a magnificent country 🤩 (Original) Belíssima igreja 🙏🙌 Saudades de Portugal país magnífico 🤩

(Translated by Google) A very nice place to see the church of the Virgin of Fátima. I recommend that this place be visited in approximately 3 hours and you must get your round trip ticket if you are far from the area because otherwise they may sell out and you will not have a way to return by train or bus. (Original) Un lugar muy bonito para conocer la iglesia de la virgen de Fátima. Recomiendo que este lugar sea visitado aprox en 3 hrs y debes de sacar tu ticket de ida y vuelta en caso estes lejos de la zona porque sino se pueden agotar y no tendrás como regresar en tren o bus.

The sight is beautiful, but unfortunately this place still illustrates the rage of last wildfire. Anyway it is interesting to testify how less we can do to stop a fire, regarding the formidable means we can deploy for other purposes....the trail is open for an interesting hiking.

The best easy trail

A very nice place to spend a holiday full of nature and great sights, with the added bonus of hiding somewhere along its path one of the best bakeries in the region.

Nice bike ride and amazing views.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) It's an easy, light trail circuit that makes you fall in love with every step. You visit the past while admiring the sensational landscape. I recommend good sneakers and avoiding shorts in the summer, due to the dry grass. Otherwise, just enjoy the view! @Ica_luis (Original) É um circuito fácil e leve de trilhos, que faz a gente se apaixonar a cada passo. Visita-se o passado admirando uma paisagem sensacional. Recomendo um bom tênis e evitar ir de short no verão, devido ao mato seco. No mais, só curta a vista! @Ica_luis

(Translated by Google) Incredible view, but the windmills are completely degraded!! (Original) Vista incrível, mas os moinhos totalmente degradados!!

The trip is always amazing, and super convenient. The only downside is the price. If you plan to use it , the more you use higher the discount you have. So, in summary one way (car + driver + 1 passenger) was 26,50€ , but if you pay 2 way trip it will cost 48,80€ (less 4,20€ in proportion) There’s also (I believe) more discount if you plan to use +5 times. But the experience overall is awesome 👍

Excellent service, brand new quiet ferry with friendly staff. We loved our little trip and really enjoyed the views along the way. The ferry took about half an hour to get to Tróia.

An exciting trip to the gulf. There are two different versions, the pedestrian-only ferry and the car ferry, which does not arrive right at the tip of the peninsula where Troia is located, but 7 minutes from the hotels by car. Being able to walk on the bridge makes the experience even more unique. The landscape is breathtaking.

The ferry from Setubal to Troia and vice versa is a moment of calm during your trip. However, the price is quite high for this ferry, but it also saves you some 160 km of driving. You can pay with Via Verde.

Great views, very smooth, unlikely to cause sickness. Stairs accessible to the top floor, no lifts noted if you have a disability. 50 euros roughly with return. Several trips available, amazing seaside in Tróia.

Great views for a day out to Setubal. Ferries run regularly, so you don't have to hang around too long. At the Troia side, make sure you get out of your car while you're waiting and look at the jellyfish and large fish around the jetty.

The journey is ok, short and convenient if you want to get from Setubal to Troia (and back). But there are only 2 ferries (one in each direction) with very small capacity that operate every 30 minutes. In high season it can be very exhausting and can happen to wait in line even for 1hr because of the crowd.

Didn't see any dolphins as we were at the start of the season. The boat ride was still amazing, and the friendliness and knowledge of the staff on board is great. They kept us updated on where we were travelling, trying to find them. Obviously, they are wild animals and could be anywhere! We were given a voucher to use next time, so I'm really looking forward to that!

Fabulous sightings of dolphins from very close quarters. Very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides: respectful of dolphins and environment. Clean and comfortable boat. Really good experience ; highly recommended

Great experience! Very pleasant and knowledgeable crew. We were on the water a total of two hours, saw dolphins and cruised along the coastline. WC and small bar on board.

Amazing! Friendly and professional crew. Comfortable and clean vessel. Great vibe. And of course lots of dolphins and gorgeous scenery

A must do when in portugal. It was unique and we got to see dolphins with great guides who shared all the knowledge. At the end there was also an option for a quick dip in the water

Nice trip, the guy who explained about the dolphins was really nice and knew them by name. After we had spent about half an hour near the dolphins in the bay they took us on a boat ride along the South coast of Arrábida. Relaxed atmosphere, we liked it.

Wonderful 3 hours of life :-) Perfect organization, friendly, and enough space for everybody. we truely enjoyed the jump in to the Water.
