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. Here, we will pause for 30 minutes to explore its remarkable history and take in the breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic Ocean.

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.

Once the guided portion concludes, you will have the rest of the day to enjoy Sintra at your own pace, where you can wander through the streets, savor the local delicacies, and of course, explore its notable landmarks. The Palacio da Pena stands out as the town's most famous site, a former royal residence characterized by its vibrant yellow, red, and orange colors that give it a whimsical appearance.

Another highlight not to miss is the Quinta da Regaleira, a unique palace built in the late 19th century by António Augusto de Carvalho Monteiro, celebrated for its Initiation Well steeped in various legends. If you wish to see additional historic residences in Sintra, the Palace of Sintra and the Biester Palace are also worthwhile.
