Arrabida Tour and Boat Ride to a Hidden Beach With Picnic from Lisbon

Set out from Lisbon to Serra da Arrábida, and climb to the top of the ridge for stunning views of the region’s landscape. The entire city of Lisbon unfolds to the north, alongside the mountains of St. Luís, St. Francisco, Louro, and Gaiteiros. To the south, you will see islets rising from the crystal clear blue sea, the Tróia peninsula, and the city of Setúbal.
Descend through Portinho da Arrábida, a white-sand beach with crystal clear waters at the mouth of the Sado River. Head towards Sesimbra, a fishing village with calm waters located along a bay. A boat awaits to ferry you to another beach paradise, accessible only by boat. Enjoy a snack, and swim in the clear, sparkling waters.
Visit the castle of Palmela, a former convent with panoramic views of the entire region. On clear days you can even catch a glimpse of Lisbon from the top of its tower. Stop into one of the region’s oldest wineries, a family-owned spot now in its fourth generation. Sample some of its famous varietals, from table wines to demarcated wines (with designation of origin). Finish your tour at your original starting point.
