Join us on a magical journey. Just minutes from Cascais, discover the romantic town of Sintra. Departing from Lisbon, you’ll explore Sintra’s majestic palaces, castles, and aristocratic estates nestled in lush hills and forests, rich with stories of real princesses, queens, and kings. Once beloved by the Portuguese and European bourgeoisie, Sintra boasts an impressive collection of palaces, notably the Pena National Palace, famed for its unique architectural styles and considered one of the most beautiful palaces in Europe, perhaps the world.

On this tour, visit the Palace of Seteais, renowned for its beautiful gardens with exotic species unique to Portugal, the Moorish Castle, and Quinta da Regaleira. Don’t miss the famous Piriquita pastry shop, known for its delicious travesseiros de Sintra and queijadinhas, dating back to the 13th century. From Sintra’s historic center, head to the coastal village of Azenhas do Mar, with its whitewashed fisherman’s houses and an oceanic swimming pool at the base of the cliffs.

Before lunch at a typical restaurant specializing in fresh fish, visit Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe, described by Luís de Camões in “Os Lusíadas” as “Where the land ends and the sea begins.” On the way to Cascais, admire the wild sea and dunes of Guincho Beach, part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, and the Quinta da Marinha estate.

Known as the Portuguese Riviera, Cascais and Estoril offer glamour and charm, with splendid white sandy beaches and a picturesque fishermen’s beach. Enjoy a beautiful sunset while fishermen mend their nets near colorful boats, contrasting with the luxury yachts in the new marina. Before returning to Lisbon, visit Estoril to see the lush gardens of Europe’s largest and oldest casino.
