Private Full-Day Tour: Romantic Sintra from Lisbon

After hotel pickup in a private vehicle, kick off your tour with a visit to the UNESCO-listed Pena National Palace. Reigning resplendent on its hilltop perch, the colorful palace is considered one of Portugal’s finest examples of Romantic architecture.

On arrival at the palace, delve into Portugal’s regal history as you explore opulent chambers and lush gardens. Then, spend a serene interval exploring the tropical flora of Pena Park, replete with plants from China, Japan, and Australia.

Next, proceed to Sintra village—a Romantic architectural feast—and amble along the cobbled streets of the UNESCO-listed historical center. Take a self-guided tour of Sintra National Palace, one of the oldest in Europe, and learn more about Portuguese history.

Stop for lunch at a restaurant recommended by your guide, and then, with your appetite appeased, travel to Cabo da Roca.

From Cabo da Roca—mainland Europe’s westernmost point—be dazzled by panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Gaze at dramatic cliffs carved by crashing waves before continuing to the charming coastal town of Cascais for some relaxed free time.

Your tour concludes with drop-off at your Lisbon hotel after a scenic drive along coastal roads.
