Other points of interest around the city include the Tapada Nacional de Mafra, an enclosed wildlife and game reserve.

Mafra is also the administrative centre of the concelho with the same name (2002 pop. 53069) which comprises 17 freguesias. The concelho is mainly rural with some touristic activity centred in Mafra and especially in the seaside city of Ericeira, which has become a key destination for national and international surfers. After the completion of the A8 motorway, linking the eastern part of the municipality to the centre of Lisbon, commuter population has increased substantially.
