VISIT TORRES VEDRAS: WHAT TO DO, WHERE TO EAT AND SLEEP

THE MUNICIPALITY OF TORRES VEDRAS IS CHARACTERISED BY CITY, COUNTRYSIDE, AND SEA LANDSCAPES. A TERRITORY THAT COMBINES TRADITION AND CONTEMPORANEITY, WHILE OFFERING UNIQUE EXPERIENCES.

Just over 20 minutes from Lisbon, Torres Vedras is graced with unique sites where the countryside stands in contrast to the built heritage and the blue ocean.

Castro do Zambujal

With an Atlantic coastline of 12,5 miles that breaks through a long stretch of fine and golden sand beaches, it inspired distinguished poets such as Antero de Quental, João de Barros, and Kazuo Dan.

While the preservation of the coast ensures the quality of the water and the sand, the truth is that Torres Vedras also counts on 3,000 acres that are assumed as a great destination for the practice of nature tourism: Socorro and Archeira Hills Protected Local Landscape.
A county where the vineyards melt into the landscape, the slopes, the hills, and the Atlantic Ocean, providing unique characteristics to the grapes that create wines with character and elegance, perfect to combine with the local gastronomy and the famous Pastel de Feijão (Bean Cake) of Torres Vedras.

From gastronomy to adventure, from wine tourism to well-being, there will be no shortage of reasons to want to stay and to return!
