Things To Do
Park and National Palace of Pena
Guincho Beach
We recommend you take an afternoon walk, cycle or dip in the sea and enjoy the best that nature has to offer in Portugal
Pasteis de Belém
The best pastries called pastel de nata are found here! They’re these custard pastries that are typical to Portugal, but this place had the best ones. It’s crazy busy there, but the line moves quickly. You can either ask to be seated or take them to go, we suggest you do both!
Belém
Belem is the delightful district to the west of central Lisbon, and is the setting for many of the capital’s most iconic and important tourist attractions. The district makes for an enjoyable half day excursion, and combines historic monuments, fascinating museums and carefully maintained parks, all of which line the cooling waters of the Tejo estuary.
Castelo de S. Jorge
This is the famous castle in Lisbon. You can take a cab or walk - the walk is so nice and there are a ton of shops to go to on the way. There are gardens to walk through (with wild peacocks) and there are great views of the city
Óbidos Municipality
The trip might be a bit far but well worth it. Castle of Óbidos is a well-preserved medieval castle. The walls of Castle Obidos completely encircle the town and it is possible to walk the entire perimeter. From the walls there are wonderful views over the terracotta tiled roofs and white painted houses of the town. The entire walk takes around an hour, but is only for the confident as the castle walls are thin with almost no safety railings. Within the town there are cute shops, bars and cafes to explore.
Cabo da Roca
Cabo da Roca is a cape at the west coast of Portugal in the Lisbon Region. It is the westernmost point of the European continent, which is the main reason for visiting it. The views from the cape are quite spectacular, and if you wish you can use Cabo da Roca as the starting point for walking trails along the coast.
Boca do Inferno
The Boca do Inferno is an interesting cliff formation close to Cascais, which has been given an overly dramatic name of Hell’s Mouth. The ceaseless pounding of the Atlantic Ocean on the cliffs chiseled out a small cave, which subsequently collapsed forming a small bay and natural arch.
Estoril Promenade and Walk
Here you can enjoy a nice walk. The route lines the beaches. The promenade is flat and is suitable to visitors of all ages and abilities. The promenade passes many of the region’s best beaches and there are many interesting sights, historical buildings and outdoor cafes.
