World Surfing Reserve
Ericeira has a protected stretch of coast with several world-class breaks, from beginner beaches to expert point breaks.
LISBON AIRPORT TO ERICEIRA
Taxi from Lisbon Airport to Ericeira
Ericeira is a whitewashed fishing town perched on the cliffs, and it is famous across the world for its surf. It is about 50 km north-west of Lisbon Airport and the transfer takes around 51 minutes.
Public transport can mean a change of vehicle and a long wait, so most visitors find a private transfer the simplest option. Your driver will take you directly to your accommodation, with space for luggage and, if you ask, surfboards.
WHAT TO SEE
Highlights in and around Ericeira
The old town
Narrow cobbled lanes and blue-and-white houses lead to a clifftop viewpoint over the sea.
Seafood
Fresh fish and shellfish are served in small restaurants across town.
Mafra Palace
The huge baroque palace and convent is on the way and makes a good stop for a day trip.
THE JOURNEY
Getting to Ericeira
The route leaves Lisbon on the motorway north-west and finishes on regional roads into town. Summer weekends bring the most traffic, particularly on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons.
