JUST TWENTY MINUTES AWAY FROM LISBON, MONTIJO IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A VISIT. A LAND OF CONTRASTS, CONNECTED TO THE COUNTRYSIDE AND THE RIVER, WHERE ONE WILL DISCOVER A RICH CULTURAL IDENTITY.
Republic’s Square
Visiting the municipality of Montijo is getting to know a land with a history highly connected to the Tagus River, since most of its territory is surrounded by its borders.
Right on Lisbon’s doorstep, Montijo is quickly accessible and a pleasant destination, where you will find a land with two distinct realities. The scenery on the municipality’s eastern side is composed by cork oak and pine tree forests, embraced by wide vineyards and rural fields. Take the opportunity to discover the Pegões Settlement, and to enjoy quality lodging.
Riverfront
On the western side, visit the historical buildings that attest to the memory and the identity of the local population: the Parish Church, the Atalaia Sanctuary and Church and the Agricultural Museum. The Riverfront and the Municipal Park are two other obligatory strolling spots.
Montijo’s gastronomy is rich in river and farmed products, where fish and pork assume the main roles and the wine list of the reputed Agricultural Coop of Santo Isidro de Pegões is the perfect match.
