On this tour, you will enter a fairytale when you visit Sintra - a unique place in the world, the first “Cultural Landscape” to be registered as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site.
In ancient times, it was known as the “Serra da Lua”, a place of prehistoric cults and rituals. In the 19th century, it became the ultimate exponent of the romantic ideal, embodied in the stunning Pena National Palace.
King D. Fernando II was able to transform the ruins of a monastery into a palace, where he combined Gothic, Egyptian, Islamic and Renaissance elements, and created a lush natural park with local and exotic vegetation.
After visiting the Pena Palace, have lunch in the village of Sintra, where you can also visit the Sintra National Palace, Quinta da Regaleira or taste the region's famous sweets: pillows and cheese.
Then we go to Cabo da Roca — the westernmost point of the European continent — where you can be surprised by fantastic photographs of fabulous views, where “the land ends and the sea begins”.
We continue along the coast, passing through the wonderful Guincho Beach, a paradise for surfers, and the Boca do Inferno rock formation, to Cascais.
Admire the charm of this former royal summer villa and enjoy a walking tour through the pretty cobblestone streets, with elegant shops and cafés.
On our way back to Lisbon, we took the fabulous Estrada Marginal, which was the country's first tourist road in the 1940s.
We also visited Estoril, where Ian Fleming was inspired during World War II to create the character 007 James Bond, the most famous spy in the world.
