Skip the crowded city centers and trek up here for the best views of the Arrábida Mountains and the Tagus estuary. You don't need a formal guided tour to appreciate the massive stone ramparts and the church courtyard. Dedicate two hours to exploring the fortifications, but grab your coffee before you arrive—the on-site cafe is pricey and often closed. It feels raw and real, not another manicured tourist trap. Go during sunset for the best lighting.
