Itinerary

1. The Palacio Nacional da Pena is one of the finest tourist attractions of Portugal and exemplifies the 19th century Romanticism style of architecture. The palace is a hedonistic mix of vividly painted terraces, decorative battlements, and mythological statues, all of which stand in stark contrast to the lush greens of the forests that encircle Pena. ------------------ Due to the storm on March 19th and 20th, visits to Pena are subject to security concerns until April 16th. Alternatively, another Palace will be visited at no extra cost.
Duration: 120 mins
2. Step into a realm of enchantment in the heart of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with colorful houses, discover hidden courtyards, and marvel at the architectural wonders that have captivated visitors for centuries. The Sintra Historical Center is a captivating blend of Moorish, Gothic, and Manueline styles, offering a glimpse into Portugal's rich history and artistic heritage.
Duration: 60 mins
3. The Boca do Inferno is an interesting cliff formation close to Cascais, which has been given an overly dramatic name of Hell’s Mouth. The ceaseless pounding of the Atlantic Ocean on the cliffs chiseled out a small cave, which subsequently collapsed forming a small bay and natural arch.
Duration: 30 mins
4. Cascais is a delightful Portuguese fishing town, and is the Lisbon’s coastline most popular holiday destination. The town is situated on a beautiful coastline, and during the summer it is a bustling resort, with a buzzing holiday atmosphere.
Duration: 60 mins
5. Cabo da Roca is a cape which forms the westernmost extent of mainland Portugal, continental Europe and the Eurasian land mass. Around 150 metres above the sea, here you can have a panoramic view over the Serra de Sintra and the coast, which makes it worth the visit. Historical records indicate that there was a fort on Cabo da Roca in the 17th century that played an important part in guarding the entrance to Lisbon’s harbour, forming a defensive line along the coast, especially during the Peninsular Wars. Today there are only traces, as well as the lighthouse which is still an important point for navigation. It lies within the Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais and is one of the points of interest on the walking trails that can be followed here, along the coast.
Duration: 60 mins
