Itinerary and highlights

Visit Pena Palace to admire a mix of architectural styles, one of the best examples of Romanticism from the 19th century. Then visit Sintra, a UNESCO world heritage site and stroll its picturesque streets.

After a convenient pickup at your Lisbon hotel, meet your guide and enjoy the short but scenic drive to a Moorish castle, outside of Portugal's capital. From the ancient walls of the castle, take in a spectacular view.

Move on to Quinta da Regaleira, located in the historic center. Built in the early 20th century in the middle of a dense forest, surrounded by luscious gardens, lakes, grottoes and enigmatic constructions, it is the result of the romantic, Gothic, Renaissance and Manueline ideals. After that, relax on your ride back to Lisbon.

Explore the ostentatious rooms of Sintra National Palace. It's considered the best preserved medieval royal palace in Portugal and not to be missed.
