![]() ![]() Strolling by the riverfront, Cais do Ginjal, is by far the most common activity for those crossing to Almada. This is the area most visitors on a day trip end up exploring and, even if the area isn’t all that vast, there’s plenty to see, do and eat around here. But, for the sake of our virtual trip there today, we’re exploring the areas roughly between Cacilhas and the imposing statue of Christ the Redeemer (known locally as Cristo Rei), and which encompass Almada’s city center. Being a municipality, Almada includes other localities, such as the popular beach area of Costa da Caparica. The boats known as cacilheiros take you to the port of Cacilhas, which is part of Almada. As such, there’s no excuse why you shouldn’t hop across the river, if nothing else, for the sake of enjoying a meal there, with extraordinary vistas towards Lisbon. To reach margem sul, as we refer to it in Portuguese, it only takes about 15 minutes by boat from the super central station of Cais do Sodré, right across the street from the popular Time Out Market. Why? Because this is often where you’ll be able to meet local people, get acquainted with Portuguese lifestyle and enjoy an authentic vibe which is often elusive in more touristic areas.Īfter having shared travel and food guides for Lisbon neighborhoods such as Marvila, Benfica, Ajuda or Alvalade, today we’d love to take you to the southbank of the Tagus river, to Cacilhas and Almada. But, way beyond the more obvious activities, places and even dishes, we take it as part of our mission to invite you to also explore neighborhoods in and around Lisbon which tend to be less visited by international travelers. ![]() It’s part of our job to introduce you to the best things in Lisbon which you just can’t miss when you travel to Portugal.
