Day Trip Overview
Your journey begins at Praça de Dom Pedro IV, a central location in Lisbon, from where we head west towards the coast.
During our journey, you will enjoy beautiful views of Estoril, Cascais, and the stunning Praia do Guincho. After approximately an hour, we will arrive at the renowned Cabo da Roca, recognized as the westernmost point of mainland Europe.

Following our visit, we will continue our drive for around 30 minutes to Sintra. Upon arrival, a guided tour lasting 30 minutes will introduce you to the key landmarks and attractions of this enchanting town, recognized as a World Heritage Site.
