Arriving into Lisbon Portela Airport puts you within an easy ride of Setubal, Portugal if you rent a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike. Setubal makes for a phenomenal day trip, or you may even want to spend a night and explore the surrounding region. The city of Setubal itself dates back to the 12th century BC, so you'll find plenty of history and architecture as you cruise through the winding streets. Top sights include the Convent of Jesus with its elaborate tilework, the turreted medieval castle of Sao Felipe overlooking the harbor, and Livramento Market to pick up some fresh fish for lunch. Venturing just outside Setubal leads you to the serene surrounding nature. Ride along the coastline to soak in dramatic ocean views and stop for a dip at Praia da Figueirinha beach. Inland you'll find the hilly Serra da Arrabida Natural Park, where you can ride through dense greenery and spot endemic wildlife. The park also contains picturesque whitewashed villages like Azeitao - perfect for sipping local Muscatel wine at a cafe patio. For an excursion further afield, motor on over to the town of Palmela to explore the medieval castle ruins on its hilltop, or head north to Santarem with its scenic historic center set along the Tagus River. Of course the capital of Lisbon is a must as well, packed with culture and easily accessed in an hour or so. Zip around independently on two wheels to experience Setubal and surroundings at your own pace. Renting a bike provides flexibility to freely customize your Portuguese adventure.
