Your morning begins with a convenient pickup directly from central Lisbon. In lieu of finding your own way on the train, enjoy a comfortable and scenic drive through the countryside, with just your local guide and a small group to accompany you.
On arrival at Sintra—one of Portugal’s foremost (and most-visited) UNESCO World Heritage sites—glide past the lines and head right in, thanks to your pre-booked tickets. Head straight to Pena Palace, known for its ultra-colorful design, where your English-speaking guide will share a wealth of stories about its history.
After enough free time to purchase your lunch (with optional baked goods from a traditional bakery) in Sintra’s city center, enjoy a bonus excursion when you head to the wild Atlantic coast. See pounding waves at Cabo da Roca—Continental Europe’s westernmost point—before heading to Cascais: one of the area’s top beach resorts.
Have more than one hour to see Cascais' Old Town, admire its marina, and treat yourself to gelato before returning to your original departure point in Lisbon.

Carolina was a fabulous guide, sharing so much history along the way. Stops in Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais (for lunch) were wonderful and the Pena Palace was amazing though busy.

Wow! What an amazing day to see several beautiful stops outside of Lisbon! Several wonderful towns were visited with just the right amount of time at each to explore on your own a bit. Our guide Ricardo, was awesome- so knowledgeable and attentive to the group needs! Very well organized and avoided long lines at the palace! Would highly recommend this for a small group outing!

We had an amazing time on this tour! Our guide Diogo was extremely knowledgeable in many areas but especially with the different styles of architecture in the Peña Palace and why different styles were used , as well as the history and current information about Portugal . We had free time to explore Cais Cais and Sintra. My favorite was Cabo do Roca with the beautiful views of the water . Highly recommend!!
