Setubal, Portugal is situated on the Sado River. It has changed names a few times in the past due to its rich and complex history. It was once part of the Roman Empire. Then it was named Shetubar during the time of Al-Andalus (i.e. Islamic Iberia). In the 1800s, the city was renamed Saint Uber. It was not until the late 19th century that Setubal was eventually given its current name. What better place to learn about significant historical events and culture than this gorgeous port city with a warm climate! Make sure your temporary Setubal home is as wonderful as the city itself! Browse through our list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in the city.
