Sintra, Pena Palace, Regaleira, Cabo da Roca and Cascais
Description
A full day in Sintra:
The Sintra Full Day Tour is a classic for a reason — multi-award-winning, best-selling, and unforgettable.
Your journey begins in Cascais, a seaside town where elegance meets history. Once a safe haven for European royalty during WWII, today it’s known for its lively town center, sophisticated vibe, and breathtaking beaches — including one featured in a James Bond movie.
Then, it’s time for a bucket-list stop: Cabo da Roca, continental Europe’s westernmost point. With its dramatic cliffs and endless ocean views, this is the place for that postcard-perfect photo.
We then dive into the magic of Quinta da Regaleira, a neo-Gothic palace with gardens full of symbolism and mystery. Explore underground grottos, secret pathways, and the famous Initiation Well, a highlight of the tour.
Next, wander the historic center of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with medieval streets, noble architecture, and plenty of hidden gems. Be sure to taste the travesseiros de Sintra, the town’s signature pastry.
The final stop is the fairytale-like Pena Palace, perched high above the mountains. Surrounded by 85 hectares of gardens, forests, and viewpoints, it’s a true icon of Sintra. Garden access is included, while the palace interior is optional — so you can enjoy the visit at your own pace.
This tour is the perfect balance of culture, history, and natural beauty, ideal for couples, families, and solo travelers alike.
