Overview

Experience the Royal North & Atlantic Soul

Escape the crowded tourist trails for a day of royal grandeur and rugged coastal charm. We begin at the Palácio de Queluz, the "Portuguese Versailles," where 18th-century Rococo elegance sets a sophisticated stage. From there, we journey to the monumental Palace of Mafra to marvel at its legendary library—a hidden gem guarded by a colony of tiny bats.

Deepen your connection to local heritage at the Aldeia de José Franco, a hand-sculpted miniature village where we’ll pause to "break bread" with warm, wood-fired Pão com Chouriço. Finally, breathe in the salt air of Ericeira, Europe’s first World Surfing Reserve. Our small-group format grants us exclusive access to the narrow, blue-and-white alleys where large buses are forbidden, letting you discover the most authentic fishing village in Portugal. This is a journey through history, tradition, and the untamed Atlantic—refined, rugged, and perfectly relaxed.

What to expect

  1. Queluz
    30m
    Often overshadowed by its famous palace, Queluz is a sophisticated historic hub that serves as the elegant gateway to the Sintra hills. Walking its streets feels like stepping into a royal suburb, where the lingering atmosphere of the 18th-century court meets the local rhythm of modern Portuguese life.
  2. Palacio Nacional e Jardins de Queluz
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Often called the "Portuguese Versailles," this 18th-century palace is a grand display of Rococo elegance. You’ll wander through opulent state rooms and manicured gardens where ornate fountains and azulejo-tiled canals capture the flamboyant spirit of the Portuguese monarchy’s golden age.
  3. Mafra
    30m
    More than just its monumental convent, Mafra is a traditional town where the scent of fresh pão de Mafra fills the air. It’s a place where rural heritage remains deeply rooted, offering a peaceful, authentic atmosphere surrounded by the lush greenery of the Tapada national hunting grounds.
  4. Palacio Nacional de Mafra
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    A monumental feat of Baroque ambition, this massive palace-convent defines the Mafra skyline. Home to a legendary library of over 36,000 leather-bound volumes and a basilica filled with the thunderous music of six historic organs, it offers a glimpse into the staggering scale of 18th-century royal devotion.
  5. Ericeira
    2h
    Perched atop sandstone cliffs, this charming fishing village is the only World Surfing Reserve in Europe. You’ll find a perfect blend of tradition and trend, where whitewashed houses and narrow cobblestone alleys lead to sun-drenched beaches and some of the Atlantic’s most legendary swells.
  6. Aldeia Museu Jose Franco
    1h
    Step back in time at this charming miniature village, a hand-crafted tribute to traditional Portuguese life. Created by potter José Franco, this open-air museum features tiny workshops, windmills, and typical dwellings that celebrate the rustic heritage and folklore of the Mafra region.
