Private day tour from LisbonPrivate Tour: Sintra & Cascais

Your Lisbon hotel
Free cancellation, 24h
A hill of palaces built by kings who wanted somewhere cooler than Lisbon, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, and the coast road back along the Atlantic.
The day
Sintra is small and gets very full by eleven. The day is built to reach Pena as its gates open.
07:00
Lisbon, your hotel door
Out of the city before the roads fill, and out to the coast first, while the gates in Sintra are still closed.
08:00
Cabo da Roca
The westernmost point of mainland Europe: a cliff, a lighthouse, and a stone that says where the land ends and the sea begins.
09:15
Pena Palace
A nineteenth-century royal palace painted red and yellow on top of a wooded hill, built by a king with Romantic tastes and no restraint. The views reach to the Atlantic.
Entrance not included
11:15
Quinta da Regaleira
A private estate full of symbols, with an inverted tower you walk down nine storeys into the ground. The strangest place in Portugal and the one people remember.
Entrance not included
12:30
Sintra town, and lunch
The old centre, the royal palace with its two chimneys, and a pastry shop, open since 1862, that is famous for its travesseiros.
14:00
Cascais and the coast road
A fishing town that became a royal resort, then a refuge for exiled kings. Back to Lisbon along the Atlantic, with the ocean on your right the whole way.
16:00
Back at your hotel
Or anywhere in Lisbon you would rather be dropped.
