About this experience
Enjoy a customizable itinerary and visit the city's various monuments and its beautiful views and coastlines.
Be picked up from your hotel in central Lisbon and travel in a luxury air-conditioned vehicle. Pass through extraordinary places such as the historic Palácio da Pena and Quinta da Regaleira.
Sintra is also home to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Continental Portugal and, consequently, Continental Europe. This place was mentioned by Luís de Camões in his literary work "Os Lusíadas", where he described it as the place "Where the land ends and the sea begins", due to the fact that, before the Age of Discoveries, the sea was practically unexplored and this place is considered the end of the world.
Visit a traditional restaurant, recommended by your guide/driver, where you can enjoy a delicious lunch. Afterward, visit Cascais and discover its beaches with white sand and crystal clear waters. After the tour, your driver will take you back to your hotel.
