The impressive Palmela Castle occupies one of the highest points in the region and offers panoramic views across vineyards, mountains and the surrounding coastline.

Palmela is a convenient shorter stop near the beginning of the journey and does not require transforming the transfer into a full-day itinerary.

Alcácer do Sal

Its historic centre contains more than two thousand years of history. Depending on the available time, you can visit the Roman Temple, Praça do Giraldo, Cathedral of Évora and Chapel of Bones, or enjoy a traditional Alentejo lunch.

Évora requires a significant detour from the fastest route but is an excellent option for travellers who want to transform their transfer into a cultural journey through the Alentejo.

Make the journey part of your trip

Travelling between Lisbon and Vilamoura offers an opportunity to discover historic castles, traditional Alentejo towns and important cultural destinations.

You can add one or more optional sightseeing stops to your private transfer. Additional travelling time, route adjustments and waiting time may affect the final price.

Which stops can be combined?

Different sightseeing stops can be combined according to your interests and available time.

For a balanced itinerary, we recommend:

  • Palmela and Alcácer do Sal for castles, panoramic views and a relaxed riverside stop.
  • Alcácer do Sal only for a convenient shorter break without a major route change.
  • Évora only for a longer cultural experience with time for sightseeing and lunch.
  • Évora and Silves for a full-day journey through the history of the Alentejo and Algarve.
  • Palmela and Silves for two contrasting Portuguese castles.

Combining several longer stops will transform the transfer into a full-day journey and require an early departure and personalised quotation.
