Description

After a 45-minute drive from Lisbon, we’ll arrive in the enchanting town of Sintra, making our first stop at the stunning Pena Palace, perched high on the mountain. Our adventure begins with a guided, gentle hike through the magical Pena Park, a lush, living masterpiece that offers a peaceful escape from the crowds at the main entrance. From here, we'll lead you along the vibrant terraces of Pena Palace, where you'll learn about its history and architecture. You’ll also have free time to visit the ornate rooms inside. Around lunchtime, stop in Sintra Old Historical Town. You may choose between eating a quick snack and visiting the National Sintra Palace (a true gem), or having a sit-down lunch and exploring the historical streets. After lunch, we'll discover the rugged Atlantic coastline, visiting local gems like Azenhas do Mar and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Continental Europe. Along the way we'll share our love for Sintra, giving you local insights. The 'cherry on top' is the drive along Guincho and the 'Lisbon Riviera,' stopping at Cascais Fortress, from which you'll have a panoramic view of the famous Cascais Bay.

Important Information

Monument tickets are not included. The activity provider will buy the tickets for you in advance. Please be ready with cash for reimbursement (€20 per person - children under 6 years old don't pay). IMPORTANT: If you make a last-minute booking after 5 p.m. the day before, we can only get you tickets for Pena Park and the palace terraces (not for the rooms inside) that cost 10 euros. Sintra has a micro-climate and is usually cooler than Lisbon and other cities around; please bring appropriate clothing. The tour involves a soft hike (25 minutes walking up and downhill).
