Almada is a very rich town in terms of monuments museums, churches, convents, etc.  We also have regional restaurants with fado and typical meals. Beautiful beaches nearby (10 minutes).

At the moment, the tutor is remodeling her house, so we can arrange your stay at a hotel or a center, both near the beach and with excellent accommodations.

Facilities and Local Area
Almada is on the right bank of the river Tagus, with a great view over Lisboa, as one can confirm in the Boca do Vento Viewpoint and in the Cristo-Rei Viewpoint. Almada is quite famous for Cultural activities, like the prestigeous Theatre Festival.

The main attractions in Almada are the beaches, an extension of 13km of golden sand.

However Almada has much more to offer, like its charming historical centre, known as 'Almada Velha' (Old Almada), with narrow streets filled with history, restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
The baroque Casa da Cerca and its Contemporary Art Centre and botanical garden, as well as the Zagalos Manor house with a rich heritage are places worth visiting.There is also The Capuchos Convent where classic concerts and Fado can be heard. The vestiges of the Almada Castle present ancient history. Almada is concerned about the environment and offers a healthy lifestyle, such as Parque da Paz, Mata dos Medos, Capuchos Garden or the riverside area and the lovely garden next to the river.
