Highlights by Location
Sintra Cascais Tour as a suggestion, can start by doing a short passage through Belém on the way to Cascais, so you can admire some of the most beautiful landmarks of our history, such as the Jerónimos Monastery, the tower of Belém, which beckons the boats that sail the Tagus River every day, and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos erected in silence thanks to our navigators.
With Tejo as a backdrop, we will continue along the coast, passing by the point where Tejo says goodbye, and with the ocean as a view, we will continue to Cascais. Along the way, you can observe how the romanticism of our coast unites with the glamour of the planted seaside villages.
Cabo da Roca
Then, we venture into the mountains to visit Cabo da Roca — the westernmost point of continental Europe. This dramatic cliffside location offers incredible views and photo opportunities. You’ll also see the iconic 18th-century lighthouse, which adds even more character to the landscape.
Sintra
Finally, we arrive in Sintra, a town straight out of a storybook. Known for its fairytale architecture and lush scenery, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.
We’ll explore its historic center, where cobbled streets are lined with cafés and artisan shops. Here, you can find the wonderful Sintra National Palace. As landmarks of interest, we can point out the Pena Palace, Monserrate, Seteais, the Moorish Castle, or Quinta da Regaleira—each with its own magic and history.
Boca do Inferno
You’ll also visit the dramatic Boca do Inferno (“Mouth of Hell”), where the ocean crashes against rocky cliffs.
Estoril
Estoril is a stylish seaside town near Lisbon, known for its beaches, relaxed charm, and the famous Casino Estoril.
Cascais
Next, we head to Cascais, a charming fishing town with a unique atmosphere. Its picturesque bay and coastal views are simply unforgettable.
From here, we follow the coastal road through Guincho Beach, part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Known for its wide sands and strong winds, Guincho is a favorite spot for surf, windsurf, and kitesurf lovers, and often hosts international competitions. It’s considered one of the largest beaches in the country.
