Departure
We pick you up from your hotel and head straight to the fairytale mountains of Sintra — a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Sintra — your choice of palace
Sintra is a dream city where 19th-century Romanticism was carved in stone. You choose one of four iconic landmarks:
- Pena Palace — a colourful hilltop palace, the ultimate symbol of Sintra, looking like it was lifted straight from a fairytale illustration.
- Quinta da Regaleira — a mysterious estate with gardens, grottos, and the famous Initiation Well descending deep into the earth.
- Monserrate Palace — a romantic Moorish-style palace set among exotic gardens filled with rare plants from around the world.
- National Palace — the oldest royal palace in Portugal, sitting in the very heart of town, famous for its iconic twin chimneys.
Azenhas do Mar
A village literally carved into the coastal cliffs above the Atlantic. One of the most photogenic spots in Portugal — whitewashed houses perched above a roaring ocean.
Cape Roca — Europe's westernmost point & lunch
The westernmost point of the European continent. Where the land ends and the endless ocean begins. After a walk along the cliffs, enjoy lunch at a traditional Portuguese restaurant right by the cape — authentic local cuisine with Atlantic views.
Cascais & Estoril
The jewels of the Lisbon Riviera. Cascais — an elegant resort town with fishing roots, luxury yachts and old fortress walls. Estoril — a legendary resort where WWII spies from across Europe once lived, today sparkling with its casino and beaches.
Return to Lisbon
Head home along the scenic Lisbon Riviera coastline — past villas, pine parks and Atlantic beaches.
