Two days are enough to feel the contrast. Let one day belong to the river and Lisbon, and the other to Almada and the Atlantic.

01 / 03

Day one: cross the river

Start around Cacilhas, take the ferry to Cais do Sodré and explore Lisbon at your own pace. Return to Almada for the evening light.

02 / 03

Day two: turn towards the coast

Spend a slower morning in Almada before heading to Costa da Caparica. Check the forecast and transport for the day; finish with an Atlantic walk or a relaxed meal.

03 / 03

Keep the plan flexible

These suggestions are not a timed transport schedule. Make space for weather, queues and a place you simply want to linger.

Before you go

Check live ferry, bus, opening and access information before setting out. Services, timetables and access arrangements change, and official providers are the only reliable source.
