Highlights

The crown jewel, multi-award winning and best-selling tour, this is a classic experience that can't be missed once in Lisbon. It's a breathtaking trip, with jaw-dropping views and mystical locations. We begin this unforgettable journey with a trip to Sintra, Lord Byron's “Glorious Eden”, one of the most charming and picturesque villages of Portugal. Sintra was the summer site of the Portuguese Royal Family and we propose to start the day with a visit to the historic center of Sintra, a UNESCO heritage site since 1995. Through narrow and very sloping streets, there are several stunning sceneries you’ll discover, and there’s also time to taste the famous Travesseiros of Sintra.
The second stage of the day takes us to Quinta da Regaleira, one of the most popular and enigmatic palaces of Sintra. The ticket is included, and with the guidance from the guide, walk through the magnificent and sumptuous gardens, including the ex-libris that is the Iniciatic Well. Next the destination is the majestic Pena Palace, an unique fairy tail residence surrounded by an immense park of 85 hectares at the top of the Serra de Sintra. The priority is to enjoy the gardens and wander through lakes, greenhouses, viewpoints and gardens. The ticket is not included and the visit is in free mode.
After the visits in Sintra we drive the narrow and beautiful roads of Sintra towards Cabo da Roca, internationally known as the "westernmost point of continental Europe". The stop is short but the landscapes are to run out of breath. We finally went to Cascais enjoying the beautiful landscapes, among which, the beach that was the setting for a James Bond film. The last stop is in Cascais, an elitist and chic hotspot, which was in the 20th century a haven during World War II for several royal families from all over Europe. A full day!
