Your unforgettable journey begins with a private transfer, setting the tone for an exceptional getaway. Enjoy an exclusive wine tasting, savoring the rich flavors of traditional Moscatel. Then, arrive in Sesimbra, a charming fishing town with a history dating back to the 12th century. Explore the 18th-century castle for panoramic views of the town and the sparkling sea. Wander through the town shaped by the ocean, where every corner tells a story and every meal celebrates fresh seafood from the sea.
Prepare for an unforgettable adventure in the stunning Arrábida Nature Reserve. Your journey will take you to the dramatic cliffs of Cabo Espichel, where history and nature meet in a truly magical setting.

Today is an adventure! Choose between two incredible ways to explore the Sesimbra coastline.
