Start with a pickup from your Lisbon hotel, then travel north along the Atlantic coast with your private guide in an air-conditioned vehicle. The further away from the city you get, the more stunning the scenery becomes. As you gaze out at the wild sea and rugged cliffs, listen to your guide tell you more about this beautiful region.
Pass by the old Sintra village on your way up to Pena National Palace, a dramatic multicolored masterpiece that sits atop a hill surrounded by wooded gardens. If you’ve upgraded to include entrance fees, venture inside the castle, where you’ll find luxurious Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as paintings, grand ballrooms and suites.
Afterward, head back down to the old medieval village of Sintra to explore independently. If you’ve chosen to upgrade, enjoy a 3-course lunch at a nearby traditional Portuguese restaurant, which will include one soft drink or beer, as well as a coffee. If you haven't chosen to include lunch, you can use the free time to grab a bite to eat at your leisure (own expense).
Once you’ve eaten, relax during a coastal drive, which includes pitstops at Seteais Palace and the Palace of Monserrate for photos. Admire the breathtaking landscapes at Cabo do Roca, the westernmost point on mainland Europe. Stand on top of the sheer cliff and look out onto the Atlantic Ocean.
Hop back in your vehicle and continue along the coast, passing the windswept Guincho Beach on the way. Stop at Cascais, a popular fishing-village-turned-resort-town. Dip your toes in the sand at its small beach, before departing for Lisbon.
On the drive back to Lisbon, look out for the casino in Estoril, a former hangout for spies and royals during World War II. Your tour concludes back in Lisbon with a hotel drop-off.
