Lisboa: Sintra, Pena Palace, Regaleira, Cabo da Roca Coast e Cascais - Included Ticket

Our experience begins and ends at the designated meeting point, where we’ll kick off with a journey to explore the charming town of Sintra. At our first stop, guests will experience life in a medieval village of high economic, social, and cultural significance. You’ll also get a chance to view the façade of the Summer Palace of the Portuguese Royal Family, which stood as the royal residence until the early 20th century. You’ll visit the stunning Castle of the Moors, a landmark that stands proudly over the town, and taste Sintra’s exclusive sweets: Queijada and Travesseiro, local delicacies that offer a sweet bite of history.

Next, we’ll head to the famous and iconic Pena Palace, often compared to the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany due to its fairy-tale appearance. This palace, built by King Dom Fernando II in the mid-19th century after his marriage to Queen Maria II, offers a surreal experience. The castle is set amidst lush gardens that resemble a small Eden and offers spectacular views of Sintra mountain and the surrounding area. Guests will explore the palace’s beautiful rooms, each with its own theme, and enjoy panoramic views of the Sintra mountain range, the coast of Cabo da Roca, and the golden beaches of Guincho, known for its popularity among surfers who perfect their skills on its waves before tackling the mighty surf of Nazaré.

Finally, we will stop in the picturesque town of Cascais, often called the "hidden pearl of the Atlantic." Cascais has a rich history as a fishing village, dating back to the 14th century when it was founded by royal decree under King Dom Pedro I. It remained a fishing hub until the arrival of the Portuguese royal family in the 19th century. King Dom Luís and his wife Dona Maria Pia de Saboia transformed Cascais into a summer retreat for the royal family and the Portuguese nobility. With its charming fishermen’s houses, sun-drenched beaches, and stunning Atlantic views, Cascais exudes a unique charm. During World War II, European kings in exile chose Cascais as their refuge, boosting its popularity among the rich and famous. Guests will have the opportunity to stroll through this idyllic town, visit its quaint spots, and enjoy a leisurely lunch by the sea.
