Itinerary and highlights
We'll collect you from your Lisbon hotel in our eco-friendly electric van, setting the tone with smooth music and zero emissions. First stop: a beloved local pastry shop where warm queijadas de Sintra and Portuguese coffee await. Then wander medieval streets with your guide, all with views of the iconic National Palace.
Wind through the mystical Sintra forest, where fairytale palaces peek through ancient trees. We'll pause at handpicked viewpoints where you can capture the Pena Palace and Moorish Castle without the crowds, breathing in the mountain air and soaking in views that feel like they're yours alone.
After a recommended lunch spot (your choice, your pace), we'll descend to the coast. Stand in awe at Azenhas do Mar, where whitewashed houses cling impossibly to cliffsides.
Feel the edge of Europe at Cabo da Roca, the continent's westernmost point.
Cruise the stunning coastal road to Cascais, with time to explore the elegant seaside town and the dramatic Boca do Inferno at your leisure.
