With its exotic landscapes and climate, Sintra became the place where the nobles and aristocrats from the 19th century started to build their palaces. Classified as World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1995, Sintra attracts many tourists all year around and is considered by many the most beautiful city in Portugal. We'll walk around the historical centre towards the incredible Quinta da Regaleira, the Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and you’ll really feel like being on a fairy tale. ​From Sintra, we'll head towards Cabo da Roca, the most western point in mainland Europe that was believed to be the edge of the world until late 14th century, with its spectacular view of the cliffs and challenging hiking trails. ​Last but not least, we'll visit Cascais, the former fishers village that became Lisbon's most famous coastline destination with its 19th century architecture, gorgeous beaches and pleasant weather. We'll see Guincho beach, Boca do Inferno view point, the historical centre and more.

Inclusions: Private transportation, Ticket to the garden of Pena Palace

Exclusions: Ticket to Quinta da Regaleira

We had a great tour with Samuel, so polite and knowledgeable - you can ask him anything about the area he'll know it! I highly recommend this tour. Not too heavy on the feet, well you don't notice. You get to learn about the areas of Lisbon you've probably been to, but this tour goes into all the interesting history the areas have to offer. If you're visiting Lisbon, it's a great way to learn about the city. And Samuel's tips on where to eat have all come up spectacular!!

25km away from Lisbon we discover the village of Sintra. A romantic village with a mystical aura and unrivalled architecture. A UNESCO heritage site since 1995, it is famous for being the portion of land with more palaces in such a small territory throughout Portugal. For many years it was visited by all kinds of people, from all social classes. It inspired poets and kings and it even has its unique pastry, known for the pillow cookies or (Travesseiros) and Queijadas of Sintra. Its monuments are romantic and built on top of the ruins of other palaces that once existed there, reflecting the pure romantic style that is so characteristic. We start the visit at the top of the mountain on a view point here you will see all entire territory of Sintra.

Andre was an amazing guide and the trail was one of a kind. Never in a million years could I have navigated it without him. We had a great conversation and the time flew by. It was a great way to get outside the city of Lisbon and explore. It is a bit challenging in parts and when the guide tells you to wear pants, trust them :)
