Highlights
- Cityrama Gray Line Portugal - Start the tour directly to Sintra.
- Sintra National Palace - The Palacio Nacional Sintra is the best-preserved medieval royal palace in Portugal and was a favourite with the Portuguese nobility. The minimalistic gothic exterior of the palace hides a wonder of decorative state rooms and the national palace is a highly recommended attraction while visiting Sintra.
- Sintra Local Market - Stop in the beautiful city center of Sintra after the visit in the National Palace to buy some souvenirs and take some photos.
- Cabo da Roca - In Cabo da Roca have the chance to take amazing and outstanding pictures and also enjoy the view from the westernmost point of Europe (march to october - summer schedule)
- Boca do Inferno - The Boca do Inferno is an interesting cliff formation close to Cascais, which has been given an overly dramatic name of Hell’s Mouth. The ceaseless pounding of the Atlantic Ocean on the cliffs chiselled out a small cave, which subsequently collapsed forming a small bay and natural arch. (november to february - winter schedule)
- Centro Historico de Cascais - Cascais is a delightful Portuguese fishing town, and is the Lisbon’s coastline most popular holiday destination. The town is situated on a beautiful coastline, and during the summer it is a bustling resort, with a buzzing holiday atmosphere.

Sintra! - Pick up arranged by the Corinthia Hotel Lisbon but the Gray Line service dropped us back to the hotel (no taxi ride)! Sintra was beautiful, the visit to the Atlantic Ocean was incredible and the Estoril Coast was spectacular! Our guide was professional, knowledgeable and friendly!

Great use of a limited amount of time to visit places outside of Lisbon - Very good half day tour of 3 places. Tour guide was good. Perhaps could point out restroom facilities in each place. Important as no toilet on bus.

Great day away - Rainy day but we were able to see and do everything, rained mostly while we were on the bus! Cascais was beautiful, all stops were amazing in scenery. Sintra was gorgeous, lunch terrific, Pena Palace crowded, colourful and fascinating. Our guide was wonderful.

Sintra Cascais Day Trip - Our guide Ruben and driver were great.
Ruben had a great sense of humor, as well as a lot of knowledge about the areas we visited. The driver did an awesome job meandering up the hills.
The only suggestion I would like to make is at the Sintra lunch stop, the guide could suggest that we visit the National Palace on our own during the allotted lunch time if we wish to.
Our tour did not include that visit and we missed it by wandering through the stores instead!

Don't go! - Crowded bis with poor air conditioning. Our bilingual guide was limited in what she knew, and mumbled when speaking, so we couldn't tell the Spanish from the English. The lunch was mediocre, we could have done better picking our own restaurant. Sintra castle was crowded, I felt like a hamster being herded through a maze. To be dropped at our hotel after the tour, we spent an additional hour on the bus. Overall, the worst touristic experience in 60 years of travel.
