What the operator writes about each stop
- Lisbon
Pickups are only available in the Lisbon area. Our tour starts here.
- Sintra National Palace
The Sintra National Palace, also known as Palácio da Vila, was one of the palaces used by the Portuguese Royal Family. The monument, of medieval, gothic, manueline, renaissance and romantic architecture, is an "ex-libris" of Sintra.
- Park and National Palace of Pena
Known as the sacred jewel that crowns the Sintra Mountains, the National Palace of Pena, one of the greatest examples of Romanticism in Portugal, appears, through the fog characteristic of the region, with its colorful hues, as if it were a fairy tale. The whole scenario leaves a certain mystery and adventure in the air.
- Castelo dos Mouros
Right on top of the mountain is the Castelo dos Mouros, a fortification whose walls wind up the mountain between rocks and cliffs that dates back to the time of the Muslim occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. From here you can enjoy a unique panoramic view of the town, the Pena Palace, and the ocean that surrounds Portugal.
- Centro Historico de Sintra
In the heart of the mysterious and charming town of Sintra, you will have the opportunity to visit the traditional Portuguese commerce, buy souvenirs and taste the traditional regional pastry, namely Travesseiros and Queijadas de Sintra. Snack not included. It will be offered a Ginjinha in a Chocolate Cup.
- Quinta da Regaleira
The tour starts with a visit to Quinta da Regaleira, one of the most charming and emblematic places in Sintra, full of history and magic. Here you can marvel at the architecture, visit the famous Initiation Well, the interior of the caves and explore the imposing garden that surrounds the entire palace.
- Parque e Palacio de Monserrate
On this day in the romantic town of Sintra, you will also have the opportunity to see and visit, if you wish, the Park and Palace of Monserrate. The Palace, of Gothic, Indian and Moorish influence, contrasts with the imposing green of the beautiful botanical gardens that surround it, gardens that are part of the "European Route of Historic Gardens" since 2020.
- Cabo Da Roca
The next stop is at the westernmost point of Portugal and Europe, one of the most emblematic places in Portugal with a view of the sea as far as the eye can see.
- Azenhas do Mar
(Optional) This village on the Sintra coast, in the parish of Colares, is worthy of a postcard. The white houses go down the cliff to the beach that, with its ocean pool, delights visitors. Enjoy the calm that this place offers you.
- Cascais
Known as the Riviera Portuguesa, the town of Cascais has a unique charm. Its streets full of traditional commerce and restaurants, its beaches and the 19th century palaces by the sea make this town a mandatory stop.
- Lisbon
The tour ends once we arrive back to Lisbon.
