Itinerary and highlights

Pickup at your Lisbon location.

The first point that you will visit is Sintra, a world heritage site by UNESCO and graced with a unique beauty, reflecting the perfect fusion between nature and the greatness of its heritage. You will visit the stunning Pena Palace, built on one of the highest points of Sintra Mountain, offering a breathtaking view of the surrounding nature and the Atlantic Ocean. It represents an excellent example of 19th-century romanticism in Portugal, with different influences and styles.

Wander the cobbled lanes of Sintra's heart, where history is etched into the very stones and local pastries add sweetness to your exploration.

Guincho Beach is one of the greatest beaches in Cascais and one of the most beautiful. It's well known for its wild dunes and untamed sea. How about a superb lunch with sea flavor and a stunning ocean view?

Cascais was the summer residence of the Portuguese royalty and aristocracy in the 19th century and the place of exile of the European monarchy during the Second World War. This fishing village became a cosmopolitan seaside resort, considered the Portuguese Riviera, with sumptuous mansions.

Estoril has long welcomed international visitors, and during World War II, it acquired a glamorous reputation when Portugal's neutrality and mild weather attracted the rich and famous, German and English spies, and European royals and aristocrats. The town is still a fashionable cosmopolitan destination with Europe's largest casino.

The Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos), also known as the Hieronymus Monastery, is an iconic 16th-century monastery in Lisbon and, along with the nearby Tower of Belém, one of the most renowned sites in Lisbon.
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the Tower of Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery is the most impressive symbol of Portugal’s power and wealth during the Age of Discovery.

You will delight yourself with the traditional Pastéis de Belém, one of the most popular specialties of Portuguese sweets, whose original 19th-century recipe is kept in the secret of the gods!

The Belém Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Lisbon’s most striking monuments and its most iconic landmark, built in the early 16th century.

The Monument to the Discoveries was built in the 20th century to commemorate the Age of Discovery and celebrate the Portuguese explorers and navigators who played a significant role in the exploration of the world during the 15th and 16th centuries.
