See all

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Óbidos
Óbidos reads as a fortified village where each street frames the next one and extends the previous one. The walls, the cobblestones and the interior passages give a continuous texture. Taking the time to follow the breakthroughs, one understands how the site protects itself and opens at once.
Place
Peniche
Peniche shows a very clear relationship between sea town, nearby cliffs and coastal activities. The short journeys between the centre and coastal front highlight variations in light and noise. It is a place that evaluates with feet and breath, not only with a route.
Place
Berlengas
The Berlengas offer a wind-beating island sensation, with red cliffs, clear waters and exposed trails over the Atlantic. Between the fort of São João Baptista, coves and seabirds, the archipelago speaks especially to travelers who accept a visit dependent on the sea.
Place
Baleal
Baleal stands in its almost island position, connected to the coast by a tongue of sand between two beaches. Surfers, boats, rocks and sunsets make up a very oceanic atmosphere, with views that change depending on the side where they sit.
