Inside, visitors can admire the well-preserved ramparts and the small Church of Santa Maria do Castelo.

Sesimbra is a picturesque seaside town that attracts both Lisbon locals and visitors from around the world. For centuries, it has thrived as a traditional fishing village, and its charming harbour remains one of the most authentic on the Portuguese coast. Colourful fishing boats float in the bright blue waters, while the golden sandy beach stretches along the bay, framed by rugged cliffs. The town also boasts fascinating architectural heritage, highlighted by the Moorish-origin Castle of Sesimbra, perched on a hill overlooking the village and the Atlantic Ocean. A possible lunch stop is included, allowing time to enjoy fresh seafood or traditional Portuguese dishes while soaking in the relaxed coastal atmosphere.

Located in the heart of the Arrábida Natural Park, Azeitão is a charming region composed of picturesque villages such as Vila Fresca and Vila Nogueira, both of which grew around historic estates that gave them their names. A stroll through Azeitão is more than a simple walk through its historic streets — it’s a journey through tradition, culture, and local life. The village preserves a timeless charm, with elegant manor houses, quiet squares, and cobbled streets framed by blooming trees. Take time to visit the village centre and taste the famous tortas de Azeitão, small sweet rolls that are a true symbol of the region.
