The Lisbon Region is blessed with many areas of natural beauty, with the sea to the west, the River Zêzere and the River Tagus to the north-east and the estuary of the River Sado to the south.
The Natural Parks of the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros, Sintra-Cascais and Arrábida and the Protected Landscape Areas of the Serra de Montejunto. The Nature Reserves are wetlands that are extremely rich in both fauna and flora, and bird watching being one of the main features of interest.

The Sado Estuary has 50.000 hectares of protected areas with white, sandy beaches running for kilometres and flanked by dunes and cliff. You’ll even find dolphins swimming about if you look carefully, and you’ll almost certainly see flamingos, who take advantage of the low tide to feed by the banks of the river, as well as many other birds.
