WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Park and National Palace of Pena
Pena Palace is one of the best representations of 19th century Romanticism in europe. Being the second-highest point in the Serra de Sintra (over 500m above sea level), it will amaze you with its unique architecture and spectacular views. King Ferdinand II - the king-artist - fell in love with Sintra, and following the purchase of the property, decided to build a unique castle and park, with 500 plant species from all corners of the world. The palace incorporates Manueline and Moorish architectural influences, that together will give you an atmosphere of “a thousand and one nights.”. An unforgettable experience.
2. Sintra
In the center of Sintra you can either stay in the village, view the National Palace or walk to visit Regaleira (tickets not included). Also, a great option is to stay, and enjoy the wonders of this beautiful medieval little town, walking the narrow streets, feel the local atmosphere and then grab a coffee and try local pastry "Travesseiro".
3. Quinta da Regaleira
Regaleira is a 19th century Villa, known as Palácio da Regaleira. Located in the center of Sintra, it was bought by a Portuguese businessman who was fascinated by secret orders such as Freemasonry and the Templars. Regaleira was transformed into a palace surrounded by gardens, lakes, caves and enigmatic constructions, symbolic places, typical of secret societies and rituals. A unique monument influenced by Romantic, Neo-Gothic and Manueline architecture. (this is optional: during this stop, you will explore the Sintra village or walk to visit Regaleira - self-guided, ticket not included)
4. Sintra National Palace
Sintra National Palace is one of the most important royal palaces from the 12th century, built by the moors initially, and later further developed and expanded during different monarchs' reign. This was one of the most important political centers, during the discoveries of the 15th and 16th centuries. It has the most relevant moorish ceramic tiles collection in Portugal.
5. Cabo da Roca
We will stop at Cabo Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe. After your Sintra's visit, you will stop here to take pictures, get a bit of fresh air, and relax.
6. Centro Historico de Cascais
Cascais will amaze you, with its mix of a little fishing village, together with the sophistication of a place where kings and queens would spend part of their summer. Time to relax and have a nice meal.
7. Estoril
A quick view of Estoril, where kings were living and spies would come to meet during World War II. Fancy James Bond? You will know a bit of history also.

Great trip to Pena palace, Sintra & Cascais. Our guide, Rodrigo, messaged us the day before to give us information about meeting.
The palace/gardens are fantastic with so much different history around them. Rodrigo was brilliant & so knowledgeable about the history. Sintra is very pretty & Cascais is very upmarket. A big thank you to Rodrigo for making the trip really enjoyable.

Huge thank you to Rodrigo for being an excellent guide and for the incredible time and experience.
Not only did he have the Knowledge of the area but he knew just the right time and place to share it and not just bombard us with it.
I also enjoyed his food and place recommendations, which were the food specialty from the places we visited.
Would definitely recommend him as a tour guide.

It was a wonderful tour! Our guide gave us a lot of information. We were already at Pena Palace before the worst of the crowds. It was also nice that you also had 'your own' time during this tour, which you could spend yourself.
