The Silver Coast region has delightful and exquisitely preserved landscapes, extending inland from the Atlantic Ocean to the Montejunto, Aire and Candeiros mountains to the “gates of the capital” and the Pinewood of D. Dinis.
It is a territory bathed in intense sunlight and blessed with a gentle climate, creating a unique harmony between the countryside and coast, in a green expanse with white houses, set against the vast blue ocean. The local people have a long tradition of hospitality, and maintain strong ties to both the land and the sea.
 
Enjoy the beauty of the local attractions.
Surrounded by the municipalities of Alcobaça, Alenquer, Arruda dos Vinhos, Bombarral, Cadaval, Caldas da Rainha, Lourinhã, Nazaré, Óbidos, Peniche, Sobral de Monte Agraço and Torres Vedras, this is a unique region, of modern rurality, united by a common cultural heritage and cemented by centuries of winegrowing and fishing traditions.
The development of the Silver Coast region has been powered by its proximity to Lisbon and its strategic location close to other major city centers.
The access to the Silver Coast region is now quicker via the A8 motorway (Lisboa/Leiria), (A17/A29 connecting to Porto), the A15 motorway (Óbidos/Santarém), and the IP6 Peniche, A1 Oporto and A23 (then later connecting to Spain). Any trip within the region is now a comfortable and pleasant experience.
With easy access to Lisbon and Oporto International Airports also facilitates connections between the region and the main urban centers in Portugal and Europe.
