Summary

Your full-day tour of the Sintra region begins with pickup at your centrally-located Lisbon hotel, where you'll climb aboard a comfortable tour vehicle and meet your guide for the day.  Head for Pena Palace, which sits on a hilltop with a view of Sintra National Park and the Atlantic Ocean. Learn about the 19th-century Romantic style of the palace, then continue through Sintra National Park to see the flora and fauna, the Chalets, the Montserrate Palace and the Moorish Castle.  Take an optional visit to Quinta da Regaleira (ticket at own expense), stroll through the exotic gardens and hear about the mysticism wrapped up in the secret wells, caves and Masonic architecture. Learn about the alchemy behind the architecture and art, with origins in the Templars, the Rose Cross, and the Masonry. At Cabo Roca, snap some photos on the westernmost point of Continental Europe and stroll the beaches at Guincho.
