Tour overview

A palace, the western headland and the Atlantic coast.

This private day tour brings together the contrasts that make the region west of Lisbon exceptional. Select a principal Sintra monument such as Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira or Monserrate, then explore the historic centre before travelling through the protected coastal landscape. Continue to Cabo da Roca when conditions allow and finish through Cascais and Estoril.
