Lisboa: Sintra, Pena Palace, Regaleira, Roca Cape Coast e Cascais - Bilhete não incluído

Our journey will begin and end at a designated meeting point, where you’ll embark on a full-day exploration of the historical and cultural wonders of Sintra and Cascais. The first stop will transport you back in time to the medieval village of Sintra, once a prosperous hub of high economic, social, and cultural life. Here, you’ll admire the facade of the Summer Palace of the Portuguese Royal Family, which served as their retreat until the early 20th century. You'll also visit the Castle of the Moors, a key historical site, and have the opportunity to taste Sintra’s exclusive sweets, the Queijada and Travesseiro.

Next, we’ll make our way to the spectacular Pena Palace, often called the Portuguese Neuschwanstein, a romantic 19th-century palace built by King Dom Fernando II after his marriage to Queen Maria II. This iconic palace is set amidst lush gardens and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Sintra mountains, the Cabo da Roca coast, and the golden sands of Guincho Beach, a favorite destination for surfers seeking to ride some of the world’s biggest waves. After soaking in the scenery, we will continue to the charming coastal town of Cascais, the “Hidden Pearl of the Atlantic.” Cascais, which began as a fishing village in the 14th century, gained prominence in the 19th century when it became a summer retreat for the Portuguese royal family and nobility. The village’s beautiful beaches, typical fishermen's houses, and sun-drenched streets exude an undeniable charm. During World War II, Cascais became a popular haven for exiled European royalty, further cementing its status as a glamorous getaway for the rich and famous, both in Portugal and beyond. After exploring the town, we’ll enjoy lunch and a leisurely visit before returning to the starting point.
