Itinerary
Hidden in the dense forests of the Sintra mountains, the Convent of the Capuchos is a unique 16th-century Franciscan monastery. Walk through its humble cork-lined cells, moss-covered stone corridors, and peaceful courtyards while learning about the austere lifestyle of the monks who lived in total harmony with nature.
Experience one of Portugal’s most iconic coastal views. Perched dramatically on the edge of a sea cliff, Azenhas do Mar features whitewashed houses cascading down to a natural ocean pool and the roaring Atlantic waves below. Perfect for a scenic stop and unforgettable photos.
Explore the charming village of Colares, famous for its unique century-old winemaking traditions and rustic atmosphere. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, enjoy free time to stroll through its picturesque streets, discover local flavors, or visit a traditional wine cellar.
Discover the grandeur of the National Palace of Queluz, often referred to as the Portuguese Versailles. Marvel at its exquisite 18th-century Rococo and Neoclassical architecture, lavish royal chambers, and grand halls, followed by a relaxing stroll through its elegant formal gardens adorned with fountains and tilework.

About Lisbon
Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.
The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.
Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
