Zambujal lies at the secondary road N549 between Carvoeira and the old town of Mafra, 6 km inland. Numerous hiking tracks offer the possibility to explore the coastal landscape on foot. Excellent motorways and country roads further connects Mafra to Lisbon-centre; by car in half an hour, by bus (every 50 minutes) in less than an hour. In Mafra-Gare (14 km) you park the car at the old beautiful railway-station and take the train to Lisbon centre or to the north in direction to Caldas de Rainha. The Lizandro and Sao Juliao beaches (surf-schools) are 3-5 km away. Ericeira (beaches, fish restaurants) is at 5 km. The Sintra area (25 km to the south) is a world heritage site within a micro-climate zone with a famous Moor's castle build on top of an old volcanic rock formation. Here and further south you find 18-holes golfcourses and the more fashionable Estoril-Cascais beaches (35 km). To the north lies the centuries-old village of Obidos (50 km, as well a world heritage site worth visiting.
