Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Pick-up at the hotel, departure directly to a incredible surprise and only then will we get to Cascais. Known for its beautiful mansions, the fishermen's bay and fish and seafood restaurants, this passionate village will remain in your memory as a place to revisit.

   1 h

2. We continue along the sea towards Guincho beach. Windsurfing and Kite surfing championships are held here every year. We continue along the mountains that surround this beach, towards Cabo da Roca. This is the westernmost point in continental Europe and has a breathtaking view of the coast line and the Atlantic. Between Guincho beach and Cape Roca there is a surprise. By the way, on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, almost at the same Latitude is New York.

   30 min

3. We continue through Sintra/Cascais natural reserve towards Colares wine region(There is also a surprise on this route). This Regional cellar makes wine from the westernmost vineyards in Europe. The proximity to the ocean and the sandy soil make the Colares wines very unique ones. Working since 1931 they preserve the cellar as it was. Lunch. Did you know that this wine region was the only survivor to the Phylloxera plague that decimated all vineyards across Europe?

   30 min

4. Next we'll visit the romantic town of Sintra and taste the regional sweets. Writers such as Lord Byron and Hans Christian Andersen and the composer Franz Schubert passed through here. Optional visit to Palacio da Vila, Monserrate Palace or Queluz Palace. Return to the hotel, drop-off and end of services.

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.
