Enjoy a private day trip from Lisbon to discover the Atlantic charm and heritage of western Portugal. Visit the UNESCO-listed Mafra National Palace, explore the seaside town of Ericeira, admire the cliffside village of Azenhas do Mar, and experience rural traditions at the José Franco miniature village.
Start your private tour with pick-up from your hotel, accommodation, or a central meeting point in Lisbon. Travel in comfort with your driver-guide in a private vehicle, while enjoying personalized insights throughout the day.
Your first stop is the Mafra National Palace, a grand baroque complex featuring a royal basilica, historic chambers, and one of Europe’s most stunning libraries. Built in the 18th century, it’s a symbol of Portugal’s royal legacy and architectural ambition.
Head towards the Atlantic coast to explore Ericeira, a charming fishing village known for its surf culture, whitewashed houses, and ocean views. Wander through its narrow streets, enjoy the local atmosphere, or have lunch at one of the many seaside restaurants.
Continue inland to visit the José Franco Museum Village, an open-air museum that showcases Portuguese rural life through handcrafted miniatures, old tools, and live artisan workshops. It's a nostalgic and educational journey through past traditions.
End your day with a visit to Azenhas do Mar, a dramatic cliffside village built into the rocks, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. With its whitewashed houses and natural beauty, it’s one of the most photogenic spots in the region.
