Boat trips are organized to watch dolphins living and appear in the mouth of the river Sado. Setúbal has its own cultural life. Setubal is, in fact, a city with a long history, according to a legend even founded by Moses’ nephew; in any case certainly already inhabited in prehistory and colonized by the Romans who had called it Cetobriga.
A daily ferry service allows you to visit the Troia Peninsula, with Golf Clubs and the opportunity to visit Roman remains.
