Discover the timeless beauty of Sintra on this half-day guided tour, exploring its royal history, dramatic landscapes, and charming coastal villages.
Your journey begins at the Sintra National Palace, located in the heart of the historic town center. Dating back to the Middle Ages, this former royal residence is one of the most important monuments in Sintra, renowned for its exceptional architectural and artistic value. The palace reflects a fascinating blend of styles—including Medieval, Gothic, Manueline, Renaissance, and Romantic—and was home to Portugal’s royal family until the end of the monarchy in 1910.
After visiting the palace, enjoy time to wander through the historic center of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where narrow cobblestone streets are lined with local shops, traditional bakeries, and charming cafés.
The tour continues with a stop at Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe. Here, you can admire the rugged coastline, capture unforgettable photos, and take in the very spot poet Luís Vaz de Camões once described as “where the land ends and the sea begins.”
On the return journey to Lisbon, we’ll pass through the elegant coastal towns of Cascais and Estoril, known for their sunny beaches and historic connections to nobility and European jet-setters. Along the way, see the stunning Guincho Beach, a favorite destination for surf, kitesurf, and windsurf enthusiasts, as well as Boca do Inferno (“Hell’s Mouth”), a dramatic cliffside rock formation shaped by the powerful Atlantic waves.
This tour is perfect for those who want to experience Sintra’s royal past and natural beauty in just a few hours.
