Stop 4

Possibility of visiting the National Palace of Sintra, located in the historic center of the village, which was inhabited for almost eight centuries by Portuguese monarchs and the court. It was widely used, especially during the Middle Ages, for support during hunting periods, or during the summer months, due to the milder climate of the village.

5

Cabo de Roca is the westernmost point of the European continent, where the Earth ends and the sea begins, as Luís de Camões wrote (in Os Lusíadas, Canto VIII), the Lighthouse, 165 meters high, dates from 1772, here we can see the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean, revealing one of the most emblematic places in Portugal.

Stop 6

The name “Boca do Inferno” attributed to this place is due to the morphological analogy and the tremendous and frightening impact of the waves there.

7

Free time to explore Cascais with a wide beach and very picturesque streets that make the city a place much visited by tourists, a mixture of a fishing village with a luxury spot with many restaurants serving fresh fish and seafood.

Between the bay and the mountains of Sintra, in the 19th century Cascais was the place chosen by the royal family for holidays, which ended up taking the nobility, in the historic center, there are many shops and restaurants.

8

The return to Lisbon will be made along the beaches of the line, with a panoramic view of Estoril, famous for its Casino (the largest gambling hall in Europe) and for the fact that author Yan Fleming wrote the first 007 novel, “ Casino Royale”, during the 2nd world war here. We will return to Lisbon along the “Marginal” road, enjoying breathtaking views of the ocean.
