Destination
What to see and do in Setúbal
Nature, sea, tradition and experiences to discover from Hotel Aranguês.
Setúbal
A city between the sea, tradition and local life
Located around 40 km south of Lisbon, Setúbal is a dynamic city, deeply connected to the sea, fishing and its canning tradition. Highlights include the Mercado do Livramento, the local gastronomy — with fried cuttlefish as its symbol — and a cultural heritage marked by landmarks such as the Convento de Jesus and the Forte de São Filipe.
Serra da Arrábida
Nature, viewpoints and unique beaches
The Serra da Arrábida is a Natural Park with striking landscapes, beautiful viewpoints and some of the region’s most iconic beaches, such as Figueirinha, Galápos and Portinho da Arrábida. The area also includes places of interest such as Cabo Espichel and the Convento de Nossa Senhora da Arrábida, surrounded by vegetation and overlooking the sea.
Dolphin Watching
An unforgettable encounter in the Sado Estuary
In the Bay of Setúbal, between the Sado Estuary and the Atlantic coast, lives one of the few resident dolphin communities in Europe. Around 30 bottlenose dolphins can be observed on specialised boat tours dedicated to responsible cetacean watching.
Tróia Peninsula
Extensive beaches and preserved nature
The Tróia Peninsula stands out for its natural beauty, with a long stretch of golden sand, peaceful beaches and an exclusive atmosphere. From Setúbal, this small paradise can be reached by ferry, on a short crossing over the River Sado.
Gastronomy of Setúbal
A connection between sea and land
Fresh fish, authentic flavours and regional products closely linked to local identity.
