Thank you, OneDayTours, for an adventure I'll never forget. Together with my husband we booked an experience to the iconic surfing sport of Portugal, combined with the most popular coastal cities, Peniche and Nazare, and got a great opportunity to see Portugal off the beaten paths. Don't miss your chance to try it!

Exceptional experience for foodies with One Day Tours. While traveling in Portugal, I got an authentic taste of the country from savoring wine in Setubal to exploring hidden spots of the region, every moment was a delight. I can't wait to embark on other adventures. Love it!

Highly recommended! I truly enjoyed Lisbon's downtown walking tour. The guides are professional and funny. The itinerary is well-thought to the smallest detail. I had a short time in Lisbon but could fit in uncountable impressions thanks to the One Day Tours team. Wish you growth and thankful clients!:)

Is Sesimbra too touristy?

Sesimbra is somewhat of a tourist town but not as congested as you would expect for a coastal town especially not like Lisbon, which is much bigger. Unfortunately, the town has avoided the ravages of a tourist factory and seeks tourists who want to touch the essence of Portugal. With tourists, it will also be somewhat crowded, particularly during summer mainly along the main beaches and the most visited attractions. Nevertheless, there are numerous small ‘hidden’ areas and rather infrequent landmarks that make it possible for a tourist to feel calm and have a real taste of an unusual atmosphere.

Can you get around Sesimbra without a car?

Yes, Sesimbra is gettable, and it is not very difficult to move around without a car.

For longer distances and in particular destinations, the local means of transport include buses, taxis, and rental bikes. In addition, there are timetabled services to nearby monuments and all the area around, thus, getting around the town and the area on its own without a car is not a problem.
