The town is known for its [[Bucelas DOC]] wine. A museum in the centre of the town [https://www.cm-loures.pt/AreaConteudo.aspx?DisplayId=894] gives a good description of the history of the industry and also exhibits some of the equipment used. The museum also has a section devoted to the [[Lines of Torres Vedras]], which were defensive lines built by Anglo-Portuguese forces in 1809-10 to protect [[Lisbon]] from invading French troops during the [[Peninsular War]]. Some of the forts close to Bucelas, such as the [[Fort of Arpim]], the [[Fort of Ribas]] and the [[Forts of Ajuda|Fort of Ajuda Grande]], have been restored.
