Get a special introduction to the romantic palaces and lush forests of Sintra and the beautiful beaches of Cascais on this scenic private tour. A personal guide shows you lands that were once home to poets and exiled kings during this sightseeing journey along the Atlantic Coast.

Once you meet your guide, set out in a comfortable minivan for a ride into the fairytale landscape of the Sintra hills. Stop for a chance to explore the colourful Romanticist castle of Pena Palace—considered one of the most beautiful in Europe—admire views over Lisbon from its balconies, and explore its elegant halls while learning the storey of the fortress.

Next, you head downhill to visit the postcard-worthy village of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture and delectable pastries. Browse for some charming souvenirs before moving on to Cabo da Roca, where you can admire the Atlantic Ocean from the westernmost point on mainland Europe.

The last leg of your journey takes you along a coastal road to Cascais. Your guide shares a few stories about the history of this peaceful fishing village, once a home for kings in exile and a hotspot of espionage during World War II. Follow the magnificent Avenida Marginal for a look at the Estoril coast as you head back to Lisbon.
