Itinerary and highlights
Sintra and Cascais are small villages just outside of Lisbon, and they’re the real “must-do” tour when visiting Lisbon. Located in a beautiful protected area, the Sintra Hills are the home of some of the most beautiful Palaces and Castles.
Pena Palace is the most iconic Palace in Sintra. It is considered the most beautiful Castle in Europe, and it’s a true pleasure to walk in its Park, or just admire the views from its balconies, with Lisbon in the horizon.
Enjoy some free time to lunch and explore Sintra Village, which looks just like a postcard town.
Taste the local pastries, check some souvenirs or just enjoy the ambience there.
Visit Roca Cape (Cabo da Roca), the westernmost piece of land in Europe.
Free time to admire the views and take some photos!
You'll have free time to explore Cascais, its bay and the surrounding streets.
The once fishing village that turned into home of kings in exile, and one of the espionage centers during World War II, Cascais is now a pleasant beach town, where people walk the streets while enjoying the sun.
Drive through the Marginal Road, always along the coast, enjoying amazing views over the ocean, first, and the Tagus River, arriving in Lisbon.
