Palaces & Mysteries of Sintra, Cabo da Roca & Cascais
Embark on a full-day journey through Sintra’s fairytale landscapes, dramatic coastal cliffs, and the timeless charm of Cascais. This carefully curated experience combines history, mystery, and breathtaking beauty — a perfect escape from Lisbon.
Start your adventure in the Historical Village Center of Sintra, where you’ll have about one hour to explore at your own pace. Wander through its picturesque streets filled with traditional shops and cafés, and don’t miss tasting the local delicacies — the famous Travesseiro de Sintra and Queijada, best enjoyed with a Portuguese coffee while taking in the village’s unique atmosphere.
Continue with a guided visit to the colorful Pena Palace, one of Portugal’s most iconic landmarks and a masterpiece of 19th-century Romanticism. Discover its vibrant façades, royal chambers, and spectacular views stretching to the Atlantic Ocean.
Next, visit the mystical Quinta da Regaleira, where gardens, secret tunnels, and the famous Initiatic Well invite you to uncover the esoteric and symbolic world that makes Sintra so unique.
After the morning of exploration, enjoy free time for lunch at Toca do Júlio, a traditional Portuguese restaurant known for its authentic local flavors and welcoming atmosphere (lunch not included).
In the afternoon, continue to the Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe — where “the land ends and the sea begins.” Take in the breathtaking ocean views and the dramatic beauty of the cliffs that define this stunning landscape.
End the day in Cascais, an elegant seaside town once favored by Portuguese royalty. Stroll through the charming historical center, admire the marina, and enjoy a relaxed coastal atmosphere before returning to Lisbon.
Entrance tickets to Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira are included.
