Description
Five unforgettable stops. One easy day. Leave the city behind for Sintra's fairy-tale palaces, wild Atlantic cliffs, and the laid-back charm of Cascais. Transport, tickets, and planning are all handled for you.
We depart from Lisbon and head straight to Sintra, where you'll visit the iconic Pena Palace. Explore its colourful architecture and surrounding park while taking in panoramic views over the hills.
Then, enjoy free time in Sintra’s historic centre. Wander the cobbled streets, grab a bite to eat, or soak up the town’s unique atmosphere. Depending on your chosen option, you may also visit Quinta da Regaleira, home to hidden tunnels, lush gardens, and the famous Initiation Well.
In the afternoon, we head to the coast. First, Boca do Inferno, a dramatic cliff carved by the Atlantic. Up next is Cascais, a relaxed seaside town where you can enjoy free time by the marina or beach.
From start to finish, everything is taken care of with immersive content and storytelling along the way, no rush, no hassle. Just a smooth, well-paced day, with every detail handled.
