Private Sintra Tour from Lisbon with Wine Tasting and Moorish Castle

• Meet a driver/guide at your hotel in Lisbon for 9am departure, then begin the 18-mile (30-km) trip to Sintra, a town set high in the Serra de Sintra mountain range. You’ll break up the drive with a stop at the National Palace of Queluz, once the home of Portugal’s queens and kings. Upon arrival in Sintra, join the guide for a walking tour of the UNESCO-listed historic center, where narrow streets wine past the Sintra National Palace, fountains, churches, and shrines. Climb to the town’s highest point to walk the historic walls of the Moorish castle, with sweeping views of the Serra de Sintra mountain range. You’ll also pass by the exterior of the sumptuous Quinta da Regaleira palace, then stop in Colares for a tasting of the region’s best wines. Stand on the dramatic Cabo da Roca, the most westerly point in continental Europe, and walk along the cliff tops for views of the beaches and the sea. Head to the coast to visit a beach lined with beautiful sand dunes, making a final stop in Cascais, a glamorous getaway with roots as a quiet fishing village. Following your time in Cascais, make the return trip to Lisbon, where this tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel.
