South of Lisbon: Local Market & Canned Sardines Museum Tour

About this activity

Escape the crowds and discover the authentic Portugal in Setúbal, a vibrant coastal city just 40 minutes from Lisbon. Once the country's largest producer of canned sardines, Setúbal has a rich maritime heritage that continues to shape its culture and daily life.

Visit the famous Livramento Market, considered one of the world's most beautiful food markets, where locals shop for the freshest seafood, seasonal produce and regional delicacies. Continue to the Museum of Labour to discover the fascinating story behind Portugal's iconic canned sardine industry before exploring the charming historic center.

Complete your experience with a visit to the remarkable Jesus Monastery, designed by Diogo Boitaca—the architect of Lisbon's iconic Jerónimos Monastery—and admire one of the earliest masterpieces of Manueline architecture.
