Holiday Rentals in Setubal - A Guide to Setubal
The district of Setubal is just to the south of Lisbon and holiday rentals in Setubal are very much sought after for a number of reasons. The proximity of the capital attracts those looking for culture and nightlife, whilst the beaches attract the sun worshippers and water sports enthusiasts.
Setubal holiday rentals can satisfy all needs. The district, like so many in Portugal, has an Atlantic coastline and from the estuary of the Sado, northwards to Lisbon on the Tagus, is just one long beach. This is the Costa Azul. Just to the west of the city is a large sheltered beach enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. The city of Setubal is located on the shores of a lagoon formed by Troia Peninsular making a sheltered harbour. Setubal holiday rentals can be found throughout the district, in the city, near the sea or in the countryside.
The other big attraction of holiday rentals in Setubal is its history. This was an important area in roman times and on the inland side of the peninsular are the ruins of a roman town, now half submerged. So, beach lovers, golfers, history buffs, a holiday rental in Setubal can be your ideal holiday escape.
If arriving by air, the nearest airport is Lisbon, situated 7Km north of the city. To get to your Setubal holiday rental you will need to travel south on the A12, crossing the Tagus by the truly amazing Vasco da Gama Bridge.
