Free tour Peniche: Peniche, The Key of The Kingdom (a Chave do Reino) - Once an island attacked by pirates

Duration: 2h
Languages: English, Portuguese
Registered on October 05, 2022

Hi! We are two young people, Diana and Romário and together we are Peniche360. Peniche360 emerged from the fusion between a young lady from Peniche, that learnt to admire her town and all its enchantments, and a young man from Lisbon, that found himself attached to this land embraced by the sea. Or in this case, as people say in Peniche, “drank the water from the Fonte Boa (Good Fountain)”. This is one of the many legends you’ll get to know if you come on a tour with us! We started doing tours because: 1st: Both of us love to travel, to explore, to discover and to get to know more. 2nd: We agreed that Peniche has so much to offer and that not many people really know the core of this place, since most people think that Peniche is resumed to Berlengas and surf... which isn't entirely true. 3rd: We are the only ones doing this in Peniche. 4th: What's the best way to get to know an unknown place? With a local, of course! We take you to places that are hidden and not so touristy. 5th: We'll show Peniche at 360 degrees. We decided to promote its corners, stories, legends and culture in a more integrated and comprehensive way, not only for those who visit our city, but also for those who already live here. Also we have this passion to talk to people and to show them around.

Tour description

🔸During our tour Peniche, a Chave do Reino (The Key of the Kingdom) you'll be able to learn a lot about the history of Peniche while visiting the emblematic places. We'll tell you from where it all began (about 180 million years) till the present time. You'll get to know legends, traditions, facts, curiosities, and mysteries, we'll take you to places that are hidden and not so touristy while admiring beautiful landscapes. Live and feel the experience of what it's like to be a local in this land that was once an island. We will make you leave Peniche feeling the will to come back for another trip.


🔸Some places that we're going to visit on our tour:

  • Wall (Muralha) of Peniche, close to "Ponte Velha", in the public garden (this is the starting point)
  • School of Bobbin Lace of Peniche
  • City Center (where you'll admire a statue and know some tips about pastry shops, where you'll be able to stop by to buy some local regional sweets, if you desire to)
  • Fortress of Peniche (where the tour starts)
  • Two Churches
  • A Museum
  • An amazing and typical neighborhood
  • Fortress of Peniche (finishing point)


🔸If you're having second thoughts on whether you should do this tour with us or not, let us help you: who better to guide you on a tour around town than a local? Oh! Almost forgot to mention that we are the only ones doing it! Why? Because most people think that Peniche is summed up to the beach, surf, and Berlengas. But Peniche is way more than just that and we are here to show you that in just a small piece of land you can find and learn about heritage of 180 million years and secrets and stories like no other place.
