Itinerary and highlights

Perched atop the Sintra Mountains, Pena Palace is a vibrant masterpiece of Romanticist architecture. As you approach, its colorful turrets and intricate facades appear like a vision from a storybook. Inside, each room tells a different tale, adorned with exquisite furnishings that reveal the opulence of bygone eras. The surrounding Pena Park is equally enchanting, with hidden paths leading to stunning vistas.

The historic town of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a patchwork of lush forests, striking palaces, and ancient ruins. Wander the cobbled streets, and you'll find artisan shops, traditional pastries, and the Gothic-style National Palace of Sintra with its iconic twin chimneys.
The visit is from the outside.

This picturesque seaside town blends traditional Portuguese charm with a cosmopolitan vibe. Stroll along the bay or explore the winding streets where seafood restaurants, artisan boutiques, and historic forts await.

Famous for its grand casino and palm-fringed beaches, Estoril exudes a vibe of vintage glamour. It's a fitting final stop, offering a tranquil promenade and cafés where you can reflect on your day of exploration as the sun dips into the ocean.

The rest of the time you will be travelling towards and backwards from Lisbon and you will also have some free time for lunch
