Full Itinerary

Queluz Palace

Queluz Palace

The National Palace of Queluz enchants with its grandeur and the exuberance of its architectural details. Closely linked to the lives of three generations of the Portuguese Royal Family, and a stage for intense emotions, the palace reflects the evolution of tastes and styles of the era, spanning Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassicism.

In its surroundings, scenic gardens invite you to "stroll" through the era when the court held sumptuous festivities and preserve memories of gondola rides on the canal, theatre, hunts, musical and literary evenings, masked balls, games and outdoor banquets.

Sintra (20/30min walk)

Sintra is a charming village situated in the Sintra Mountains, known for its unique microclimate that creates a mystical and romantic atmosphere. Sintra's historic centre, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is full of narrow streets, craft shops, traditional cafés and pastry shops famous for typical sweets such as travesseiros and queijadas.

During the walk, you will have the opportunity to discover the charm of this village that inspired poets and writers over the centuries, such as Lord Byron who described it as a "glorious Eden". The unique architecture, lush gardens and romantic atmosphere make Sintra an unmissable destination.

Sintra
Pena Palace

Pena Palace (1h30m to 2h visit)

The National Palace of Pena is like a sacred jewel crowning the Sintra Mountains. The surrounding park, in harmony with the fairy-tale character of the palace, awakens emotions of mystery and discovery. In its corners, gazes are lost in wonder.

The colourful tones of the palace, the ultimate expression of Romanticism in Portugal and the eternal work of King-Artist Dom Fernando II, open doors to the imagination of all who arrive there, and the infinite shades of green that paint the surrounding park form an idyllic setting, often under the veil of Sintra's characteristic mountain mist. Like something out of a fairy tale, this place makes every generation of visitors dream and marvel.

Estrada Real and Colares

The Estrada Real is a historic route that winds through the Sintra Mountains, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. This path, once used by Portuguese royalty, connects important tourist points in the region.

Colares is a historic wine region, one of Portugal's oldest demarcated regions (1908), the westernmost on the European continent and the smallest still-wine producing region in the country. Its ungrafted vines are planted directly in the sand, which protected them from phylloxera in the 19th century. Colares wines are known for their longevity and unique character, reflecting the special terroir of this coastal region.

Colares
Cabo da Roca

Cabo da Roca (stop)

If you visit Sintra, you cannot miss a visit to the westernmost point of Continental Europe, Cabo da Roca. Located at latitude 38º 47' North and longitude 9º 30' West, Cabo da Roca is an important coordinate for those navigating along the coast, being the westernmost point of the European continental mainland, a fact confirmed by the certificate visitors take home as a souvenir.

About 140 metres above the sea, here you can enjoy a sweeping view over the Sintra Mountains and the coast, making the visit worthwhile. Historical records point to the existence of a fort at Cabo da Roca in the 17th century that played an important role in guarding the entrance to Lisbon, forming a defensive line along the coast.

Guincho and Quinta da Marinha

Guincho Beach is one of Portugal's most impressive beaches, known for its powerful waves and strong winds that make it perfect for sports such as surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. Nestled between two rocky peaks, Ponta Alta and Ponta do Abano, this beach is located in the heart of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, offering a stunning natural setting.

Quinta da Marinha is an exclusive area situated between the city and nature, between the beach and the mountains. This sophisticated resort located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and is the perfect setting to enjoy moments of tranquillity amid lush nature, with its 18-hole golf course and luxury facilities.

Guincho Beach
Hell's Mouth

Hell's Mouth

Hell's Mouth is a unique rock formation along the Costa da Guia, northwest of Cascais. This coast is composed of high limestone cliffs eroded by the full force of the Atlantic Ocean. At Hell's Mouth, slightly acidic rainwater eroded a weaker limestone vein, originally forming a marine cave that subsequently collapsed, leaving an opening and a sea arch.

In this opening, the powerful Atlantic waves continuously crash, and during violent winter storms, water explodes upward, similar to an erupting volcano — hence the dramatic name Hell's Mouth. This natural spectacle is one of the great attractions of the Cascais area.

Cascais (pass-through) and Cascais Bay (stop)

Renowned for its splendid white sand beach, numerous shops and charming shopping streets and its cosmopolitan character, the fishing village of Cascais has reinvented itself and become a refined seaside resort and one of the most sophisticated destinations in the Lisbon area. The city, located just a few kilometres from the mouth of the Tagus, is nestled between the sunny Cascais Bay and the majestic Sintra Mountains.

Largo de Camões marks the historic centre of Cascais and is one of the favourite areas of locals and tourists. Its lively atmosphere, created by numerous bars and restaurants, transforms the square into a charming and unmissable spot in the city. Heading from the centre towards the coast, you may be lucky enough to see fishermen mending their nets right beside their colourful boats on Fishermen's Beach, in contrast with the neighbouring Marina, a modern and sophisticated setting.

Cascais
Estoril

Estoril (pass-through)

Estoril is a sophisticated tourist destination known for its famous Casino, one of the largest and oldest in Europe. With stunning luxury villas facing the sea, a famous beach and a lively nightlife, Estoril attracts visitors hungry for culture and the jet set from all corners of the world for its conferences, film festivals and legendary jazz concerts.

Many international sporting events take place in Estoril. Sports facilities in the area include Estoril Golf, the Estoril Sol International Golf Academy, numerous tennis courts and the racetrack. During World War II, thanks to Portugal's neutral status, Estoril became a refuge for European royalty and inspired Ian Fleming for his work "Casino Royale", a James Bond adventure.

Avenida Marginal (return journey to Lisbon)

The Avenida Marginal is a coastal road with a pedestrian walkway and cycle path, parallel to the Atlantic Ocean and the Tagus River, approximately 35 km linking Lisbon and Cascais. Also known as the Costa do Sol, it is very popular in summer among Lisbon residents and tourists due to the many beaches with extensive sands along the coast.

During the return journey to Lisbon along the Avenida Marginal, you can enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and observe numerous palaces, mansions, manor houses and fortresses built over the centuries. This scenic route offers a perfect ending to the tour, allowing you to contemplate the sunset over the ocean as you return to the Portuguese capital.
