About this experience
The crown jewel, multi award-winning and bestseller tour, this is a classic experience one must have when in Lisbon.
We start by Sintra, whose cultural landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll have free time to explore the village center with its typical narrow and steep cobblestone streets and outstanding sceneries.
The tour heads after to Quinta da Regaleira, and its 4 hectares of lush gardens, lakes, grottoes and enigmatic constructions such as the Iniciatic Well, a true must see.
The next stop is the enormous Pena Park, a unique botanic garden with 85 hectares of pure nature easy to fall in love with.
After the Sintra visit, the tour takes you through the charming road of the county to the westernmost point of continental Europe, the impressive Cabo da Roca.
Last but not least the beachtown of Cascais, former fisherman town, today an elite and chic hotspot, after being a refuge during World War II, where you’ll have free time to stroll around.
