Romantic palaces, exotic gardens and regional wines!
Uncover the beauty of Sintra, the capital of Romanticism, on this 8-hour private day trip from Lisbon. The experience includes entry to Monserrate Palace, a regional wine tasting and visits to some of the most iconic spots in the region.
Your day begins at the 18th-century Queluz Palace, once the royal residence of King Pedro IV. Continue to the charming village of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can wander through its picturesque streets filled with fountains, chapels, shrines and local history.
The highlight of the tour is the stunning Monserrate Palace (ticket included). Rebuilt in the 19th century by the English merchant Francis Cook, this palace showcases oriental and medieval influences, surrounded by one of Portugal’s most beautiful botanical gardens.
Next, stop in Colares for a tasting of local wines at the historic Adega Regional. Then head to the dramatic cliffs of Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, before continuing along the coast to admire Guincho Beach.
