A day trip to Set\u00fabal will give you a taste of the southern Portugal vibe just an hour outside of Lisbon. <\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some people may know Set\u00fabal as the birthplace of 18th-century poet Bocage<\/a> and world-famous soccer coach Jos\u00e9 Mourinho (the self-proclaimed \u201cspecial one<\/a>\u201d who coached major league teams like Porto Futebol Clube, Real Madrid, and Manchester United). But it\u2019s also known for its natural beauty, a peculiar accent, and a famous fish dish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sound good? We think so, too. Here\u2019s how to make the most of a day trip to Set\u00fabal, from attractions to food and more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

What to See and Do in Set\u00fabal <\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Set\u00fabal is that kind of city where every corner is attractive, so you won\u2019t miss out if you just choose to explore the narrow streets. This way, you can admire the local architecture, take a walk on the avenue by the sea, or take a selfie with the human-like cuttlefish statue just steps away from the Casa de Santiago restaurant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If, however, you\u2019d rather see some of the iconic spots that put Set\u00fabal on the map,, here\u2019s what you can\u2019t miss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Museu do Trabalho Michel Giacometti<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Set\u00fabal\u2019s history is deeply connected to the ocean, fishermen, and the canning industry<\/a>. All that is represented at the Museu do Trabalho Michel Giacometti<\/a>, installed at an old canning factory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the top attractions in the museum is the old grocery store (mercearia<\/em>), which is not a recreation. The interior of the store was donated to the museum and is now on display.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Before leaving, or before entering the museum, check the view over the bay from the tile-decorated viewpoint outside.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Museu do Barroco (Baroque Museum)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This museum<\/a> dedicated to the 18th-century architectural style is set in a building from that same time period. It brings together all of the Baroque period\u2019s signature elements: blue and white glazed tiles (azulejos<\/em>), ceiling frescoes and gilded carved wood. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tr\u00f3ia<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the summer, this white-sand peninsula<\/a> on the Sado River estuary is a popular beach destination. Ferries<\/a> just for passengers or for passengers and cars depart from downtown every 35 minutes in the spring and the summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In addition to laying on the beach with a view to the Serra da Arr\u00e1bida natural park, you can also book a boat tour for a chance to spot the resident families of dolphins. They are one of the three dolphin colonies in Europe living in an estuary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

An escape to Tr\u00f3ia is the perfect opportunity to relax.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Serra da Arr\u00e1bida<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Unless you feel like taking a two-hour hike, it\u2019s best to include Serra da Arr\u00e1bida<\/a> on your day trip to Set\u00fabal only if you\u2019re driving. One of just 13<\/a> natural parks in Portugal, this mountain range is famous for its natural beauty and the clear-water beach of Portinho da Arr\u00e1bida.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Where and What to Eat in Set\u00fabal<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There\u2019s one dish the city by the Sado River is famous for: choco frito<\/em> (strips of deep-fried cuttlefish), preferably served with a side of French fries. If you\u2019re not adventurous when it comes to tasting new dishes, or if you prefer a lighter meal, you can never go wrong with grilled fresh fish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Casa Santiago<\/a> serves the best choco frito<\/em> in the city, so expect to wait a while for a table. As with all typical Portuguese restaurants during lunch hour, service is fast, so you won\u2019t have to wait in line for too long.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How to Get from Lisbon to Set\u00fabal<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you prefer taking public transportation instead of driving, the most sustainable way to travel from Lisbon to Set\u00fabal is to take the Fertagus train<\/a> from Entrecampos and get off at the last stop. From the Set\u00fabal train station to the city center, it\u2019s about a 15-minute walk. A one-way ticket costs \u20ac4.55 per passenger, the trip lasts around an hour and trains depart hourly. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When it comes to flexibility, though, driving to Set\u00fabal might be a better option, especially if you want to visit Serra da Arr\u00e1bida.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t mind making transfers on public transportation, it\u2019s faster to take the ferry across the Tagus River from Terreiro do Pa\u00e7o to Barreiro<\/a> (departs every 30 minutes, off-peak hours). From there, take the CP train that leaves every 30 minutes from outside the boat station<\/a>. Get off at Pra\u00e7a do Quebedo station, right in the heart of Set\u00fabal. You can top-off your Viva Card<\/a> instead of buying separate tickets. In total, a one-way trip (ferry + train) will cost you \u20ac4.65.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
