Full description

Escape Lisbon and go on a full-day, guided journey to some of Portugal’s most popular locations stopping at the iconic Pena Palace in Sintra, the awe-inspiring cliffs of Cabo da Roca, and the ritzy seaside town of Cascais. Choose between the shared tour or private tour options.

Your journey from Lisbon starts at the famous city of Sintra, whose Romanticist architecture, historic estates and villas, and numerous royal palaces and castles have made it a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Enjoy the freedom of choice on whether you want an included entry ticket and tour of the colorful Pena Palace, or whether you prefer to gain some extra free time instead.

Arriving early at Sintra means greater chances of avoiding long lines if you choose to go with your guide on a comprehensive tour through its lavish interiors and lush gardens. Marvel at the palace’s fairy-tale-like appearance, beautiful facade and extravagant interior.

Next, head over to the center of Sintra and get 1.5-hour of free time to wander on your own. Get recommendations of the city’s must-see locations as well as the best restaurant options for delicious traditional Portuguese dining from your guide.

Continue to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, and take in the impressive views of the ocean crashing against the high rocky cliffs. If weather permitting, stop at Guincho beach, whose strong winds and high swells have made it a popular surfing destination.

Lastly, arrive in Cascais, an elegant seaside resort town on the Portuguese Riviera. Stroll through the lovely city center and make sure to check out Cascais’ luxury marina, its charming fishing port, and a restored fort that houses many local craftsmen.

After your free exploration time in Cascais, relax back on board your air-conditioned vehicle, and admire more breathtaking views of the Portuguese coast as you make your way back to Lisbon.

I thought it was a good quality tour of Pena Palace, they had an ear piece/radio that you could hear the guide in wherever you were, so that was very nice. Due to the strikes in Europe at the time we had to move our schedule at around a little, the tour guides handled that so well! The other places I’d say you don’t need to go to or pay for. They didn’t give us a tour of those places. If I were to do it again, I’d pay for just the Pena Palace tour.

The excursion keeps what it promises! :-) We had a wonderful day. Our guides were super sweet and caring and always kept us happy. All destinations on this route are worth seeing. The transfer was on time and safe. I can only recommend this tour to those who want to discover more than just Lisbon from Portugal! :-)

Very early on the road. At the meeting point it is busy, but super structured and hop on the bus. Even before the big crowd of tourists we walk smoothly into the Pena palace with our guide Ricciardo and we get to hear all the ins and outs. We continue to Sintra town, where we have time to look around and have lunch. Hoppa on the way to the coast. The roads are winding, but the views are phenomenal. Also along the way we make a quick extra stop for a photo opportunity. Cascais is a wonderful seaside town. We are tired and dive on a terrace in the sun. Yes, this feels like vacation.
