PARTNERS - Private Traditional Fisherman's day from Lisbon, in Setúbal

Your private tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel, Airbnb, or cruise port in Lisbon, heading towards the stunning Arrábida National Park. Along the drive, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the Sado estuary, recognized as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. There will be stops at scenic viewpoints for you to take in and photograph the magnificent mountain and ocean landscapes. Before reaching the heart of Setúbal, you'll also pass by the historic Arrábida Convent. Once in Setúbal, you'll explore the renowned Livramento Market, considered by USA Today Travel as one of the world’s top 10 fish markets. This 145-year-old market features beautiful azulejo tiles depicting local life and a vibrant selection of fresh seafood, giving you a glimpse into the traditional fishing culture and ingredients used in local cuisine.

For lunch, you’ll head to a traditional, family-run fisherman’s restaurant, where the meal is based on the morning’s catch. This means no fixed menu—just authentic Atlantic dishes like sea bream, sea bass, swordfish, sardines, horse mackerel, and cuttlefish, all served with homemade sides typical of the region. You’ll have the chance to chat with your guide and decide whether you’d prefer a more adventurous meal or something simple and classic. If time allows, you’ll finish the day with a visit to the São Filipe Fortress, one of Portugal’s earliest star-shaped coastal fortifications, built in the late 1500s. From its vantage point, you can admire sweeping views over Setúbal, the river, and the Atlantic coastline before your return to Lisbon.
