Overview

Step beyond Lisbon and uncover Setúbal, a hidden gem few visitors ever see. Once home to over 400 sardine canning factories, this city was the heart of Portugal’s fishing heritage. On this walking tour, you’ll visit the stunning Livramento Market—hailed as one of the world’s most beautiful—where locals shop for fresh seafood and produce.

Explore a real canned sardines factory, and admire the Convent of Jesus, designed by the same architect as Lisbon’s Jerónimos Monastery, but even older.

Led by local guides who know every secret, this is authentic Portugal—far from the crowds, yet just 40 minutes from Lisbon.

Note: Livramento Market is ony available in morning tours
