- Park and National Palace of Pena - Pena Palace\nAn astonishing fairytale palace located on one of the highest peaks of the Sintra Mountains. Pena Palace was built in the 19th Century by King consort Ferdinand II of Portugal. He turned a 16th Century monastery ruins into one of the most eclectic palaces in Europe by blending different types of Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance elements to it. Around the palace he created a park where he planted different exotic species of trees from all over the world.\n- Guincho Beach - Pass the stunning beaches of Cascais, including the scenic Praia do Guincho.\n- Cabo da Roca - At the end of the tour your guide will drive through the Natural Park of Sintra to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost site of Continental Europe.\n- 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.\n- Cascais Marina - 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...like in a fairy tale... - If you are in Lisbon one day you must employ and organize to go to Sintra. Surely you should buy the ticket online possibly for lunchtime or a little more... we had the entrance to the castle at 2.30 pm and it was almost perfect... here's why: Departing from Lisbon Tossio train station at 10 am we arrive in Sintra at 11 am here must take the bus that leads to the castle another 40-50 minutes due to traffic, after eating a sandwich brought from Lisbon we enter the park... access at any time regardless of the time in the ticket because that time is for the castle. In fact, after waiting for the shuttle (which we had purchased together with the ticket) on site you can not do, but you can get there on foot by doing a little 'climb... we visit all the exteriors of the castle and arrive at 2.15 pm and get in line to enter the castle.
Experience to do because it's really great
Highly recommended

Great tour, excellent guide, Igo was a delight - Excellent trip, very pleased. Igor, our guide, was a delight. Even though he has done this tour probably hundreds of times, he was friendly, energetic & accommodating. I would take this tour again, especially with Igor. Thanks for showing our group a great time!

Highly recommended! - Igor was an incredible tour guide! He went above and beyond to ensure our group had a great time, had fun, and learned a lot about Portuguese history and where we were going for the day (Sintra and Cascais). I was added to the tour at the last minute and he was accommodating and so helpful. Great recommendation for a farm restaurant-very authentic and super great food. Our tour even ran late and he made sure to get me right back to where I was staying. Definitely book this tour! I will be back as well!

More than we could’ve done on our own! - We had an amazing day in Sintra and beyond with Antonio. A skilled guide (and driver), we felt safe and comfortable on our day-long journey. We’ve already recommended this excursion to friends. We wouldn’t have been able to make all of the additional stops beyond Sintra (Cascais, Cabo da Roca, Boca do Inferno) on our own, and Antonio made sure we didn they in the perfect sequence to avoid crowds and maximize views (with some fog).

God Level Quarterbreaker - If you can avoid it better, scam, deceit and loot the castle of Sintra.
Terrible organization and information to access, if you get lost or lost it takes you at least half an hour to return to the starting point.
“They force you” to park in the town and take one of the taxis designed for that purpose (wagon, vintage, etc.), and here you start to spend money (7:50 per person), once you arrive near the castle A small bus awaits you to complete the climb of about 500 meters at €3 per person (one way, if you want to get off by bus later, another €3), oh if you're thirsty and don't bring water, wow 1.70 a 500 cl bottle.
In short, the castle is beautiful and picturesque, especially because of the location, but it is nothing out of this world and your wallet will thank you for it.
