Map

This tour is in the greater Lisbon area, west of the city, about 30km from the center.

The historic center of Sintra attracts thousands of tourists and is full of historical interest and beautiful monuments. Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point in Europe with impressive views. The entire coastal strip from here to Lisbon, passing through Cascais, is a great drive with lots to see.

For those who like a little history, but also open spaces with beautiful views of the Serra de Sintra and Cascais.

Coordinate your palace choice with us before your visit so we can organize your day and purchase tickets. The standard itinerary includes time for one palace; visiting two requires arranging extra hours. Bring comfortable shoes and a jacket for coastal stops, where it can be windy even in summer.

The walks on the route are generally short. The effort varies depending on the chosen palace and may include climbs, stairs, and uneven ground. If anyone in the group has reduced mobility, please speak to us before booking so we can assess the route.
