Vasco da Gama Bridge tours, things to do and tickets

Enjoy time away from Lisbon on a small-group day trip to Arrabida and Sesimbra. Enjoy a drive along the Vasco da Gama Bridge, the longest in Europe. Visit Palmela Castle, then sample four wines at a local winery. Enjoy the fishing village of Sesimbra, and visit Arrabida Natural Park where you can soak in spectacular views of the Atlantic. Relax as you sample two local wines at Casa Museu Jose Maria da Fonseca, one of the oldest wine-producers in Portugal, before heading to Cristo-Rei Sanctuary to admire Lisbon from a distance.

We want to take you inside a time machine and arrive back a few centuries ago, as our first stop is the former roman town of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, with roman, visigoth, muslim and portuguese influence.
In Évora history crosspaths with us in every corner, in this big puzzle of historical monuments with more than 1000 years old. The walking tour starts at São Francisco church and the Bones Chapes, one of the must see places in Évora.
Heading next to the medieval heart of the city where the Cathedral (the biggest in Portugal) can be found but also some antique testimonials like, Roman Temple cand the Roman baths.
There will also be time for an olive oil tasting, free time to shop and to lunch … by any means skip the local food. Definitely no to skip the 2027 European Cultural Capital.
We Finish This day with a visit to the Capital of Portuguese Handmade
Carpets, tasting Wine, Olive Oil & local Patties.

Start your day by crossing the 25th of April Bridge towards the south bank of the Tagus river.

The Setubal Peninsula offers its visitors the best of both worlds. A beautiful coastline with an emphasis on the Arrabida Mountain and its beaches painted in light shades of translucent blue, passing by the wineries where superior quality wines are produced.

Discover Sesimbra with its beautiful bay and one of the main fishing ports in Portugal. Visit the Sesimbra Castle. A visit to Sesimbra cannot end without tasting its most typical sweet: Farinha Torrada. A family tradition associated with fishing activity.

Continue along the summits of Arrabida Mountain and on your arrival in Setubal visit the Livramento Market where fresh products from the sea and land are sold from Tuesday to Sunday.

A Wine and Cheese tasting will be waiting for you in a quiet environment at the Mourisca Tide Mill in the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve.

On your return to Lisbon cross the Vasco da Gama Bridge.
