A large lake, ideal for romantic seagull rides, nestled in the Bussaco Forest.

It is one of the twenty steps of the Via Sacra do Bussaco.

It was here that, on September 27, 1810, the Battle of Bussaco was fought, in which Wellington, commanding Anglo-Portuguese troops, defeated the French army under Massena. This important historical moment, which marked the end of the French invasions, is depicted in some of the tiles inside the building, now converted into a luxurious hotel. Nestled in the majestic Buçaco Forest, it offers a stunning architectural, historical, and scenic ensemble.

Pleasant garden with a lake, ideal for a relaxing stroll.

Housed in a 16th-century farmhouse, this space is dedicated to ethnology, with objects representing agricultural life, the ceramics industry, railways, costumes, crafts, everyday utensils, sacred art, archaeology, and the pig.

All that remains of the former Discalced Carmelite convent are the façade, the church, and the cloister. Of particular note are the breccia work on the façade, and the colorful mosaic murals, which vaguely recall the art of the Far East.

The views from here are breathtaking. They stretch from the Atlantic Ocean (to the west), to the Serra da Estrela (southeast), and past the Serra do Caramulo (northeast). The Buçaco National Forest stands out in the landscape.

A space with excellent views of the surrounding area, chosen by English General Crawford in 1810 to establish his command post during the Battle of Bussaco.

Bairrada-style suckling pig is undoubtedly the greatest culinary reference in this Bairrada region, in the Beira Litoral region. Pig farming has been a common practice since the 17th century. The suckling pig is spit-roasted for two hours in a wood-fired oven. Yellow as gold, it's a dish much loved by both locals and visitors who regularly stop by to savor the meat's unique flavor.

Located on the western slopes of the Buçaco Mountains, this is the ideal place to recharge your batteries. Luso's thermal waters spring from the central part of the spa, located in the town center.
