Highlights
  • Sintra Mountains - Sintra and Cascais are small villages just outside of Lisbon, and they’re the real “must-do” tour when visiting Lisbon. Located in a beautiful protected area, the Sintra Hills are the home of some of the most beautiful Palaces and Castles.
  • Park and National Palace of Pena - Pena Palace is the most iconic Palace in Sintra. It is considered the most beautiful Castle in Europe, and it’s a true pleasure to walk in its Park, or just admire the views from its balconies, with Lisbon in the horizon.
  • Sintra Municipality - Enjoy some free time to lunch and explore Sintra Village, which looks just like a postcard town.

Taste the local pastries, check some souvenirs or just enjoy the ambience there.

  • Cabo da Roca - Visit Roca Cape (Cabo da Roca), the westernmost piece of land in Europe.

Free time to admire the views and take some photos!

  • Cascais - You’ll have free time to explore Cascais, its bay and the surrounding streets.

The once fishing village that turned into home of kings in exile, and one of the espionage centers during World War II, Cascais is now a pleasant beach town, where people walk the streets while enjoying the sun.

  • Estoril - Drive through the Marginal Road, always along the coast, enjoying amazing views over the ocean, first, and the Tagus River, arriving in Lisbon.

Fantastic Day! - The trip was amazing! We loved the castle, but visiting the towns of Sintra and Cascais were highlights as well- only wish we had more time there. Our guide Nuno was the best and we enjoyed a fantastic day!

A full day of wonderful experiences. - The guide, Ariane, was very informative and paid attention to everyone in the group. The tour was varied and very interesting. I loved all of it; the Pena palace, the garden/ lakes, Cascais, Cabo da Roca. This tour is worth it.

Thank you Sergio! - Sergio was a wonderful tour guide. We were traveling with my 78 year old mother and my teenage daughters. He made sure everyone was comfortable. He even sat with my mom while we toured some of the sights she couldn't walk to. He went above and beyond!

Nice tour. But not great - Tour guide very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. But I think it could have been better by adding in a visit to the moorish castle. The hiking tour thru pina castle grounds was great but occupied majority of the day
