In a few words

It's one of Portugal's largest traditional fishing ports and a central Atlantic hub for maritime and tourist activities. You won't believe you're diving into European continental waters. But you are. Located opposite Peniche, the archipelago consists of three groups of small islands: Berlenga Grande (the only inhabited one, accessible by boat from Peniche) and the neighboring reefs, Estelas and Farilhões-Forcadas; their geological composition differs from that of the Portuguese coast.

The highlights

  • Diving and exploring the UNESCO Berlengas Islands nature reserve in Peniche
  • Visit the medieval town of Óbidos, one of the most picturesque towns in Portugal
  • A stay in Peniche, a hub of the Atlantic
