What to expect

Praca Dos Restauradores
1h

Meet your group in central Lisbon at Praça dos Restauradores, the starting point of the day. After check-in, leave the city behind and travel toward the green hills of Sintra.
Park and National Palace of Pena
1h · Admission ticket included

Discover the Romantic dream of Pena Palace through its gardens, viewpoints, and exterior beauty. Created under King Ferdinand II from the ruins of an old monastery, Pena became one of Portugal’s greatest symbols of 19th-century Romanticism.
Walk through Pena Park, an 85-hectare landscape of winding paths, exotic trees, lakes, fountains, decorative details, and surprise viewpoints. The palace interior is not included, but the visit reveals the magical world that surrounds it.
Parque e Palacio de Monserrate
40m · Admission ticket included

Included only with the Full Experience option

Step into the quieter, more elegant side of Sintra at Monserrate. Part of the UNESCO-listed Cultural Landscape, this palace and park combine exotic gardens, delicate architectural details, and peaceful paths shaped by 19th-century Romantic taste.
Once transformed by Sir Francis Cook, Monserrate feels like a hidden botanical palace, where plants from around the world surround one of Sintra’s most graceful monuments.
Sintra
1h 30m

Enjoy free time in the charming old town of Sintra, where the UNESCO-listed landscape becomes more human and local. Walk through cobbled lanes, see pastel façades, stop for lunch, try traditional pastries, or admire the town’s mountain setting.
Look out for the National Palace of Sintra, famous for its two large white chimneys, one of the most recognizable symbols of the historic center.
Quinta da Regaleira
1h 45m · Admission ticket included

Explore Sintra’s mysterious side at Quinta da Regaleira, an estate built for António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, known as “Monteiro the Millionaire.” The gardens are filled with symbolic towers, grottoes, tunnels, caves, fountains, and secret paths.
Descend the famous Initiation Well, a deep spiral structure that was not built for water, but for symbolism and atmosphere. At the bottom, underground tunnels continue the experience, turning the visit into one of Sintra’s most memorable adventures.
Boca do Inferno
30m

Feel the raw Atlantic power at Boca do Inferno, the famous “Mouth of Hell.” Waves crash through a sea-carved rock opening, creating sound, spray, and a dramatic coastal scene that contrasts beautifully with Sintra’s palaces and gardens.
Marina de Cascais
50m

End the day at Marina de Cascais, where the wild Atlantic gives way to calm blue water, yachts, sea breeze, and the polished charm of the Portuguese Riviera. Set near the Cascais Citadel, the marina offers a relaxed and scenic finale before returning to Lisbon.
