    Overview

    Plan your visit: the sights of Almada, what to eat and where to stay.

    Almada travel guide

    Almada sits on the south bank of the Tagus, directly opposite Lisbon. A ten-minute ferry from Cais do Sodré lands you in Cacilhas, and from here the views back to Lisbon's hills are among the best anywhere. Beyond the town, Costa da Caparica offers kilometres of Atlantic beach.

    What to see

    Take the lift to the top of Cristo Rei, the giant statue facing Lisbon, for a view over the city and the 25 de Abril Bridge. In Cacilhas, board the frigate D. Fernando II e Glória, a 19th-century sailing warship turned museum. Ride the free panoramic lift to the Boca do Vento terrace, walk along the atmospheric Cais do Ginjal, and explore the quiet streets of old Almada. In summer, head to Costa da Caparica for surf, beach bars and sunsets.

    What to eat

    Cacilhas is famous for its seafood restaurants, where Lisbon locals cross the river for prawns, clams and crab. On the Costa da Caparica, eat grilled fish right on the beach.

    Nearby

    Lisbon is across the river, Sesimbra about 35 minutes south, and Setúbal 40 minutes away.

    Getting there

    Almada is about 20 km from Lisbon Airport. GoToo drives you door to door at a fixed price per vehicle, including to hotels in Costa da Caparica.

    View cuisine
    Sanctuary of Cristo Rei
    The 110-metre statue of Christ overlooking Lisbon from the south bank, inaugurated in 1959 in thanks for Portugal staying out of World War II. Modelled on Rio's Cristo Redentor; a lift inside takes visitors to the platform at the statue's feet for the panorama.
    25 de Abril Bridge
    The red suspension bridge linking Almada and Lisbon since 1966, best seen from Cristo Rei or the riverside.
    Fragata Dom Fernando II e Glória
    The last Portuguese sail-powered warship, launched in 1843 in Damão (then Portuguese India). Burned in 1963, restored, and moored at Cacilhas as a museum ship since 1998. Walk the gun deck and the captain's quarters as they were.
    Boca do Vento Viewpoint
    A panoramic terrace at the top of the Almada hill, reached from the Cacilhas waterfront by a free panoramic lift. Looks straight back across the Tagus to Lisbon's seven hills, one of the best skylines of the city, and quieter than the Lisbon side.
    Cais do Ginjal
    The crumbling industrial waterfront below the Almada cliffs, fish-processing warehouses turned to ruins, a handful of restaurants and the railway tracks where freight cars once met the river. Atmospheric, slowly being redeveloped, and the Lisbon view is unbeatable.
    Old Almada Historic Centre
    The original hill town above Cacilhas, organised around the parish church of Santiago and the Jardim do Castelo. Domestic, residential and rarely on a tourist's map, but the streets, balconies and the view down to the river are exactly what a south-bank town should look like.
    Costa da Caparica
    Kilometres of Atlantic beach south of Almada, with surf schools, beach bars and seafood restaurants, 20 minutes from Lisbon.
    Seafood in Cacilhas
    The riverside seafood houses of Cacilhas, where Lisbon crosses the Tagus for prawns, clams and crab.
    Grilled fish at Costa da Caparica
    Fresh sardines, sea bream and sea bass grilled over charcoal in the beach restaurants.
