What To Expect

Learn how this fishing village has changed since its foundation by the first Portuguese king, D. Afonso Henriques in 1165. From here, follow your guide to one of the most famous avenues, 25 de Abril Avenue, and learn about this date and its importance in Portuguese history. Along the avenue stop and view old photographs of the avenue in the 20th century and imagine yourself in another time, where fishing boats occupied the beach and waterfront.
Continue your walk in the eastern part of Sesimbra and stop in front of a famous pastry shop to taste the Farinha Torrada, a typical sweet from Sesimbra. Stroll through the important squares in the village center and take a look at the local market products.
Observe monuments from the 15th and 16th centuries and enter a late-19th century building for a tasting of regional wine and cheese.
Before your tour concludes snap some beautiful photos and get directions from your guide to your hotel or continue exploring independently.
