Highlights

In Sintra you want time to stop! The Portuguese village that Lord Byron describes as a "Glorioso Eden" maybe because of the vegetation surrounding it, the moose-covered stones or the vigorous treadmills surrounding the trees. World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is a place of great cultural and historical wealth, with monuments dating back to various eras and architectural styles. We highlight the Palacio da Pena, whose eccentric architecture and location on the top of the Serra de Sintra provide stunning views over the region. Another highlight is the Quinta da Regaleira, a true maze of esoteric symbolism, where architecture and nature merge in a unique way. The day ends with a visit to the charming village of Cascais, one of the most sought after destinations on the Portuguese coast. Cascais is known for its narrow and picturesque streets, inviting beaches and its rich history as an ancient fishing village.

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.
