Beach as far as the eye can see

Beautiful Troia extends for 20 km of clear water beaches and soft white sand and separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Sado Estuary, turning this piece of land a true paradise on earth. Besides the local beaches, you can go for a long stretch and visit Praia da Comporta (17 km), or Praia do Carvalhal (30 km). So, no excuses: awake your tropical summer mojo and head over to enjoy the sun and a swim!

Just chilling

Besides hiking and bike riding, swimming, and kayaking in Troia, you should take a moment to enjoy its natural beauty and gorgeous sunsets with other tribe members! These moments will for sure make the best memories.

Traditional portuguese flavours

When in Portugal… do it the Portuguese way! You can’t go without experiencing delicacies such as choco frito (tempura fried squid), amêijoas (clams), or the famous sweet wine Moscatel de Setúbal.

What to visit?

Once the most significant center of the fish-salting industry during the Roman Empire occupation, Troia’s dunes still preserve the legacy of a lost civilization built between the 1st and the 6th centuries. Did you know that besides fish tanks, you can also find ruins of tombs and tubs for hot and cold baths in Troia? If you’re a history/treasure hunter, this place is a must-visit!

Would you prefer to wander outside the peninsula? The Sado Estuary Nature Reserve is home to several species of fauna and flora, some of them threatened with extinction, and is the perfect spot for inspiration seekers.

HOW TO
GET THERE

Grab your ticket to join the Tribe in Troia, September 30 - October 5!

Installments are available for all tickets with no additional charges, so the sooner you get it, the better!

◊Alameda da Marina, 7570-789

Flying
Lisbon airport is the quickest and closest choice for you. You have several options to get to the Setúbal Catamaran station from this airport: THU Shuttles are the preferred way but they don’t run for 24 hours. There’s also taxi/riding apps or a combo of transports to get you to Setúbal.

Staff members will be at the airport’s welcome point to help find the best solution for you.

Portugal is part of the EU and the Schengen space. Make sure to check if you need a VISA to enter. THU issues invitation letters for VISA application processes, so if you need one, reach out to [email protected]
THU Shuttles
We’re organizing shuttle services to and from the Lisbon airport. Don’t forget to provide us with your arrival and departure times and dates, so we can work around that information, increasing your chances of having a shuttle waiting upon your arrival. You will be asked about those later, via email.
Catamaran to Troia
Once in Setúbal, you’ll take a Catamaran (fancy word for big boat!) to Troia. It’s a great chance to take in the beautiful natural surroundings.

Duration: approx. 15 min. Price: €8.80 (Each purchased ticket contributes 0,10€ for the environmental preservation of the Sado Estuary!) Check detailed schedule
Taxi and Riding Apps
If you prefer, you can share a ride from the airport to the Setúbal Catamaran Station with other attendees! A taxi is around 65€ and a van is around 130€.
Train or Bus
To get to Setúbal by public transportation, you can either take the metro to Oriente (red line) and catch a bus from there or travel to Sete Rios (blue line), and catch a Fertagus train. Neither of these options will drop you directly at the Catamarans. An extra transport will be needed.

The trip will take about 60 minutes and costs less than 8 euros.
Driving
You can take your vehicle directly to Troia via the highway through Grândola or by Ferry at Setúbal. It will take you around 1h30 (50 km) to get to Setúbal and the same time but 134km by Grândola.
Teleportation
Unfortunately it's not a thing yet! But stay tuned, we never know.

Where should I look for accommodation?
