Full description
After the morning pickup at your accommodation, enjoy the scenery in a 4x4 Portuguese jeep as you head to Sintra: the romantic villa where all monuments have a majestic architecture full of stories and unraveling mysteries, stunning gardens, centenary trees and ancient castles.
First you will be taken through the historic center for you to see the traditional Portuguese narrow streets. You will be able to take pictures of the mesmerizing medieval National Sintra Palace and its iconic chimneys, get a glimpse of the local traditional life, as well as take time to shop for souvenirs or just relax with the best views.
Now it's time to explore Sintra's mountain, where you will get the chance to see and know all of the sights and monuments in the region, with a complete historical and cultural explanation of each place from a knowledgeable guide (you can choose one monument to visit in the inside). From Pena Palace, the famous fairy-tale-like palace on the top of the hill, to Quinta da Regaleira with its enigmatic grottoes and mysteries, passing through the Moorish Castle, Monserrate Palace, and many more.
From Sintra's mountain, you then head to the beautiful countryside following the century old tram line, until you arrive at the sweeping Atlantic Ocean views of Cabo da Roca, the most western point of Europe ("where the land ends and sea begins"). Make sure you get your camera ready, because this place is a real-life postcard and you will definitely want to preserve the moment.
You will then follow the beautiful ocean-front roads, white sandy beaches such as Guincho, and beautiful one-of-a-kind sights such as Boca do Inferno until you reach your last destination: Cascais, the scenic fishing village, and former vacation destination for the Portuguese Royal family. Here, you will have time to take some pictures and relax before heading back to your accommodation to end this full day tour.
