"Arrábida is gorgeous. Most of the day we had very foggy weather but our guide took us close to the shore so we could see everything. Luckily it cleared up. We went through narrow passes and into a cave which was awesome. Our guide was great and was very knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely recommend this! It’s my favorite thing we did in Lisbon!"
