Location
Located in the most accessible and central part of Lisbon, São Domingos de Benfica neighborhood was once filled with farms. Now is a traditional neighborhood, where the hustle of the bustling streets blends smoothly into the calm and simplicity of the residential zones.
We invite you to walk around and feel like a local, absorbing the intense cultural life this neighborhood has to offer. You will find many small typical cafés and local restaurants that unite people from all ages.
From São Domingos de Benfica neighborhood is in fact quite favorable to move around. From the Benfica Train Station, it only takes nine minutes to reach Rossio (Lisbon city centre) and half an hour to Sintra village.
Ten minutes walking from the Lisbon Backpackers is the main transport station of Sete Rios/Jardim Zoológico with easy accessibility to anywhere in the city, beaches and cultural points of touristic interest.
The Lisbon Zoo can be found also in Sete Rios and is one of the major zoological gardens of Europe. The Monsanto Forest Park which lives door to door with the neighborhood, is the ideal place to run, bike and picnic, or just to take a nap by the sun. From here, you can have a short hike and enjoy the Lisbon view from the Aqueduct of the Free Waters, one of the most remarkable examples of 18th century Portuguese engineering. The Fronteira Palace also here located, is still one of the most charming residences of Lisbon with 17th and 18th century decorative tiles.

Downtown Lisbon city itself does not have a beach and walking around siteseeing you may be oblivious to the fact that dozens of beautiful white sandy surf beaches are only a 5 minute car drive away (Or 4 train stops!)
The surrounding beaches pick up all the swells the Atlantic have to offer making it one of the most consistent surf destinations in the World.
The area has a good selection for all standards. Closest to the city would be Caxias & Santo Amaro de Oeiras. Caxias is a beautiful beach that on its day can produce perfect lefthander barrels. Oeiras is more of a winter wave and is one of the best waves in Portugal.
Next stop is Carcavelos, probably Portugal's most famous wave. Its one of the best beach breaks in Europe and regularly hosts National competitions. It suits all standards, a perfect place to learn and a great place to score some fast beach barrels with multiple peaks along the 1km stretch of beach.
There are many other spots along the coastline that runs from Lisbon out to Estoril & Cascais. Long boarders will love Sao Pedro and short boarders will thrive on spots like Poca and Sao Joao. Then on the other side of Cascais there is the stunning long white sandy Guincho beach, one of Portugal's most consistent surf spots, usually best in the morning as it can be exposed to afternoon onshore winds.
Across the river Tejo in Setubal, a 20 minute drive away, is the less crowded Costa de Caparica. Perfect for beginner/intermediates as the man made jetties create nice consistent waves. The beach stretches for 30kms and all of it is surfable!
Lisbon is also a great base to explore other regions. The surf mecca of Ericeira is only 35 minutes drive away and 1 hour north is Peniche, host of the WSL World Tour every October.
