Details
This tour will show you the most important sights in Sintra, classified as Unesco World Heritage since 1995, the cosmopolitan village of Cascais, and the westernmost point of Europe, Cabo da Roca.
Start direction to the enchanting Sintra, one of the most romantic villages in the world.
Arrive in Sintra and pass by the old medieval village, heading up the hill to the Royal Pena Palace to visit the former summer residence of the Portuguese King in one of the highest peaks of the mountain range, built on the ruins of an old 16th-century monastery.
Free time to walk around the narrow streets of Sintra, full of small shops selling Portuguese tiles and ceramics, the walk itself is like walking back in time. In the centre of the village, admire the National Sintra Palace in Moorish style with its conic chimneys and Manueline style windows. Lunch in Sintra or nearby (NOT included).
After lunch, the tour continues to the westernmost point of Europe, Cabo da Roca, to admire the view.
Drive through the hills and pass by Guincho Beach, one of the best beaches near Lisbon, followed by a visit to Cascais, traditionally a seaside fishing village that became a very fashionable seaside resort.
Finally, we will end the drive by Estoril, very famous during the 2nd World War (Ian Fleming lived there and wrote a book about James Bond - 007).
Included: Pena Palace entrance fee
