Private Arrábida and Sesimbra tour from Lisbon

Arrábida, Sesimbra and Setúbal Tour

Full day with private driver: Arrábida mountain range, paradise beaches and the fishing village of Sesimbra

The best-kept secret south of Lisbon: Serra da Arrábida (natural park, Mediterranean landscape), the Galápos, Galapinhos and Portinho da Arrábida beaches (among the most beautiful in Portugal), and the fishing village of Sesimbra with its medieval Castle.

Popular variation: combine with a moscatel wine tasting at Azeitão (José Maria da Fonseca) or regional cheese tasting. Shorter itinerary (6-7h) ideal for beach days plus fresh fish lunch in Sesimbra.
