Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Pena Park and Pena Palace Balconies included.
Marvel at Pena Palace, one of Portugal's most magnificent and recognizable landmarks. This 19th-century Romanticist masterpiece stands atop a rocky peak, the second highest point in Sintra Hills, and is richly adorned with Moorish and Manueline motifs. From the palace's balconies, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the peaceful forests and lush gardens, brimming with exotic plants and flowers. Pena Palace was designated a National Monument in 1910 and is a key part of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1995.

Stop 2

See the final resting places of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama and poet Luís de Camões. Then, admire the iconic Belém Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos). Strategically built on the north bank of the Tagus River between 1514 and 1520 to defend Lisbon, Belém Tower is a stunning example of King Manuel I's architectural style and was inscribed by UNESCO in 1983.

Stop 3

Explore the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery, Portugal's most popular monument. This grand structure stands as King Manuel I's tribute to the remarkable 15th-century explorers, including Vasco da Gama, who discovered the sea route to India in 1498. While we won't enter the monastery itself, we will visit the impressive church, where Vasco da Gama is laid to rest, learning about Portugal's profound maritime discoveries.
