After pickup from your central Lisbon hotel, cross the impressive 25th of April Bridge and head to the Cristo Rei monument—based on the awe-inspiring Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.
Gain insight into the monument’s history before ascending Cristo Rei to enjoy panoramic vistas of Lisbon. Proceed to the parish of Azeitão—renowned for its culinary bounty—and sample its traditional unpasteurized sheep’s milk cheese. Then, descend to a wine cellar to learn about winemaking processes and enjoy a tasting session.
Before arriving at Arrábida Natural Park, observe Portuguese tile making methods and then enjoy relaxed free time in the protected park. Gaze at the pristine sands of Arrábida’s beaches and purchase a traditional Portuguese lunch before reconvening with your guide.
On the return journey to Lisbon, pass by the quaint fishing village of Setúbal before stopping at Palmela Castle—a Neolithic fortification that dates back to 300 BC. Be amazed by the ancient atmosphere of the fortress before concluding your tour with drop-off at your Lisbon hotel.
