Almada is much more than a gateway to Lisbon. From golden beaches and dramatic cliffs to local markets and riverside restaurants, there is plenty to discover right on your doorstep.
A long stretch of Atlantic beaches about 25 minutes away by bus. Popular with surfers and sunbathers alike. In summer, a mini-train runs along the coast connecting over 20 different beach spots — from family-friendly areas to quieter, more secluded stretches further south.
A protected natural monument — dramatic fossil cliffs that run along the coastline south of Costa da Caparica. A unique geological formation and a beautiful backdrop for walks along the beach.
Simple, everyday spots — nothing fancy, just convenient and close.
