Car Hire Setubal - Mini guide to Setubal

Setubal

Located on the Rio Sado’s wide estuary, the district capital of Setubal is a pretty town which is rather exceptional for an industrial centre. The fourth-largest city in Portugal boasts the country’s third-largest harbour, where each morning you can observe the daily scene of fishermen unloading their fresh catch. Setubal is also known for being the birthplace of the Portuguese writer and poet Manuel de Barbosa du Bocage, who was born here in 1765.

The celebrated opera singer Luisa Todi is Setubal’s most famous daughter. Named after her and situated north of the Rio Sado waterfront, you can find the city’s principal waterway. The vibrant and idyllic old town is constructed around the centrally located Praca do Bocage, which features Bocage’s statue. While strolling around, you might explore the few attractions which weren’t destroyed by the severe earthquake in 1755.

Visitors will find a wide range of lodging establishments while Setubal also represents several internationally well-known car hire services. To see all the main highlights, you will need to drive outside of the city. Public transport might be an option, but is rather slow and so car rental is preferable. We offer cheap Setubal car hire which can be booked online.

Some of the main attractions in the city and the surrounding region include the Sao Filipe Castle, Setubal Museum, Archeology and Folklore Museum and the Igreja de Jesus, an important Christian site.
