Highlights
  • 25 de Abril Bridge - Enjoy the ride on the top of 25th April Bridge, inaugurated in 1966. It is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (USA) because they are both suspension bridges of similar colour.

  • Jose Maria de Fonseca - Visit one of the most famous wineries in the country, with more than 200 years of history. Taste the famous wine from the region of Setúbal.

  • Castelo de Palmela - In Setúbal Peninsula, in the east side of the Arrábida mountain range, Palmela castle is situated between the estuaries of the River Tagus and Sado River, near the mouth of the latter. It is part of the Costa Azul, in Arrábida Natural Park.

  • Serra da Arrabida - Immerse in a stunning natural park where the chain of elevations reaches his highest peak in Arrábida hill, covered in Mediterranean-like vegetation and a microclimate that resembles some Adriatic locations. The beaches and the sea, seen from the hill, are gorgeous.

  • Casa Mae da Rota de Vinhos - Enjoy a wine tasting at this cellar. It’s optional.

  • Setubal - You can enjoy a tasty lunch in the fishing district of Setubal, with the typical gastronomy of the city, fresh fish, seafood or the traditional fried cuttlefish.

Additional Information

Begin your journey marveling at the Tagus river bay as you traverse the Vasco da Gama bridge, among the lengthiest in Europe (117.185 m). Ascend to the medieval castle at Palmela to take in the stunning vista, and then descend to the historic town center to sample Setúbal Moscatel, one of Portugal’s prized wines.

Enjoy a leisurely lunch in the fishing community of Setúbal or on the beach in Sesimbra, where you’ll find an extraordinary local cuisine centered around fresh fish. Post-lunch, head to the peak of Arrábida Natural Park to soak in the breathtaking landscape and heavenly views of the verdant mountain intermingling with the Atlantic Ocean.

Next, proceed to Azeitão to tour one of the region’s oldest wineries (Casa Museu José Maria da Fonseca) and indulge in another wine tasting. Don’t miss out on the local sweets and cheese either.

Lastly, make a stop at the Cristo Rei to absorb the panorama of Lisbon before making your way back to the city, crossing the 25 de Abril suspension bridge.

Amazing Tour, Nuno an even better guide! - Me and 3 friends booked a private tour around the areas of Setúbal and Palmela with a stop for a wine tasting at José Maria da Fonseca. Not only was Sardinha do Bairro extremely accommodating, our tour guide Nuno made the trip that much more special. Extremely knowledgeable and well time managed with a great sense of humour and easy to talk to. Nuno made the trip that much more special with his insights into the history of the castles and markets alongside his knowledge of the best picture spots overlooking Setúbal. Not only this but towards the end of the tour Nuno took time out of his own day to take us up to the top of the Sesimbra castle which again left us with a stunning view over the bay of Sesimbra. As you could probably tell by now we couldn’t recommend Nuno highly enough to any prospective customer and would like to say thanks to him again for planning our incredible tour!
