About this experience
Discover Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on this day tour. Admire the town via minivan, surrounded by a natural park, a medieval castle, palaces, and chalets.
Walk along the medieval streets of Sintra and drive through the national park. Take in the rare fauna, the unique trees, the Moorish Castle, Monserrate Palace, and the several chalets along the road.
Welcome Sintra by visiting Quinta da Regaleira, a place steeped in mysticism. It features a palace surrounded by lush, palatial gardens, lakes, grottoes, and enigmatic structures that hide alchemical secrets—echoing the traditions of the Freemasons, Knights Templar, and Rosicrucians.
Next, visit Pena Palace, one of the most impressive architectural expressions of 19th-century Romanticism in the world, and one of Portugal’s seven wonders. Continue on to the westernmost point of continental Europe at Roca Cape.
Finally, travel along the Atlantic coast. Pass by Cascais, Estoril and Guincho beach.

Meeting and pickup information
- Free pick up and drop off at your hotel or apartment in Lisbon. Our pick ups are between 7h45 and 8h15 AM. We will inform your exact pick up time on the day before the tour. • You should buy in anticipation the tickets to Pena Palace on their website. You should select the 14h30 (2h30pm) slot. It is important that you buy only for this slot, as we are organizing all the groups for the same time. • The tickets tend to sell out. If you don't purchase your tickets in anticipation, we can't guarantee availability at the Palace entrance so you might end up just being able to visit the exteriors and the gardens.
