This is one of the most visited palaces. Located on top of the hill and with amazing views over the region and the Moorish castle, this 19th-century palace has a lot to explore. See how the kings and queens lived in its interior and visit the exuberant gardens. This palace may be overcrowded so that it can be difficult to visit the interior, depending on the group's decision, you can visit another palace instead.
The Moorish Castle is a fortress on top of a hill with amazing views over the region and the Pena Palace. It's a nice place but we would recommend to see the palaces instead.
One of the oldest palaces is located right in the historical center of Sintra. Depending on the group's decision about which monuments to visit you can either visit Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace or the historical center and its National Palace of Sintra.
Quinta da Regaleira is a nice palace and garden complex with many symbols related to the Maçonary and the Templar orders. Get lost in its Iniciatic Well and the tunnels of this esoteric place. Depending on the group's decision about which monuments to visit you can either visit this palace or the historical center and the National Palace of Sintra.
A nice palace which is now a 5 Star hotel with a nice view of the Pena Palace and the Sintra region.
A beautiful neo-Arabic palace with a luxurious botanical garden. It's located about 3 Kms away from the center, being a good alternative when all the monuments in the center are crowded.
A cute town built on the cliffs right above the Atlantic Ocean.
We will pass Praia das Maças, Praia Pequena and Praia Grande beaches on our way.
This is one of the most beautiful beaches of Sintra and it has an almost secret viewpoint only accessible by an off-road where we can take full advantage of our 4x4 vehicle and let the adventure begin. This is one of the most breathtaking views, amazing cliffs, the beautiful ocean, and the Roca Cape in the distance.
This is the most western point of continental Europe, with amazing landscapes over land and sea. It's a very touristic area, that is why we prefer the previous secret spot.
This is an interesting cliff formation where the sea enters through a hole - the hell's mouth. Stop depends of available time and parking.
A beautiful beach with views over the Natural Park of Sintra and Cascais.
Cascais is a nice beach town with lovely streets and shops to wander around or to go for a swim. Enjoy Cascais as long as you wish because you can return to Lisbon from here by train (same ticket can be used on this route).
