Tourism in Portugal

Peniche's seafood-rich gastronomy: Taste regional delights in local restaurants, with fish reigning supreme! Local gastronomy in Peniche is deeply influenced by the sea and by the abundance of fish. There are many restaurants located in Peniche, in nearby Baleal beach or in Berlenga, where travellers can taste the very best regional specialities. Fish is by all means the all-mighty king of every table in Peniche!

Created by the architect Ana Bonifácio, the work "Psalterium" integrates the temporary exhibit "Rosarium: Joy and Light, Pain and Glory". The rosaries are literally the symbol of the connection between heaven and earth. The bond that unites all pilgrims during their spiritual journey to Fátima. 

The city and the whole region of Leiria is a true icon of gastronomy. Absolutely perfect for foodies and the most demanding tastes. There are restaurants that were converted in unrivalled legends in Portugal, Meccas of the finest cuisine and opulent tables. A foodie's delight!

Between December 6th 2025 and January 1st 2026, Cabeça, a Mountain Village, located in Seia municipality, in Estrela Mountain, becomes the most traditional and eco-friendly Christmas village in Portugal, offering an alternative to the increasingly globalised and commercialised holiday season.
