Venture out of the city with trips to Nazare (Miradouro do Suberco, O Sitio, &more), Marinhas de Sal (in Rio Maior) and Monastery of Alcobaca (in Alcobaca). There's much more to do: stop by Primvs, appreciate the history behind Santuario Nacional de Cristo Rei, steep yourself in history at National Palace of Queluz, and stroll around Parque e Palacio de Monserrate.
