Itinerary
Our tour departs from Lisbon to one of Portugal’s most romantic destinations: Sintra. Here we stroll through the Historic Center, take pictures and tell the history of this Villa. Here you can visit one of the following palaces: National Palace, Biester Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace, Monserrate Palace or Queluz Palace.
Then, our destination is the beach of Azenhas do Mar, known for its oceanic pool and impressive cliffs.
Now it is time to enter through the beautiful Serra de Sintra, crossing pretty old, bucolic streets, where the royal charrets passed and, a few kilometers later, we reached the westernmost point of Europe – Cabo da Roca – whose mountains, with a height of 140 meters, end by the sea and so ends Europe. On site, there is a lighthouse, a gift shop and a coffee shop.
Descending the Serra de Sintra, our route reaches the wild Praia do Guincho, one of the surfers' favourites. Because it winds too much, the waves are larger and attract athletes. Tourists are attracted by the unique beauty of the place.
Our next destination is the famous rocky formation by the sea, the Mouth of Hell. The name of the locality is due to the impact of the waves hitting the rocks, which often seem to shake the ground. The sun reflecting in the water is very beautiful, as it blends the serenity of the open sea with the strength of the waves that go against the rocks.
Our tour ends in the charming Vila de Cascais, where we will stroll through the Historic Center.

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.
