Pelourinho

The Secret Alternative to Ponto Final


Alcochete is a nice place — let’s see what happens if they actually build a major airport there.

When you come out of the outlet, Alcochete offers a stark contrast: an almost tourist-free small town with a wonderful view over Lisbon’s east side and a promenade that’s quite romantic in the evening. There are plenty of dining options on the pedestrian street — we’re sending you to the ”Gallows.” For a stunning sunset view overlooking the widest part of the Tagus Basin and a memorial stone for the famous King Manuel, who was born here in 1469. More of a bar with food than a restaurant with cocktails. Order mussels and octopus, along with fries and a good drink. Stare into the landscape and enjoy life. You can also watch football.
