Overview
You can visit two of Portugal's most charming towns on a day trip from Lisbon that goes beyond the city to explore the Sintra Mountains, a place notoriously difficult to reach independently. You'll tour Sintra's Pena National Palace and the town's UNESCO-listed historic center, and than travel to the Atlantic coast to see Cascais and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point in continental Europe.
Highlights
  • Experience Portugal outside of the capital city
  • Visit a Romantic palace in a UNESCO-listed mountain village
  • Travel between coastal cliffs and sand beaches with ease
  • Walk through the ocean community of Cascais
  • See a broad range of landscapes and architectural styles
What to Expect
Meet a driver at a central location in Lisbon, and then travel into the Sintra Mountains in a climate-controlled minivan. The first stop of the day is Sintra's Pena National Palace, whose fascinating history starts in the Middle Ages, then you'll have free time to stroll through the heart of the old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pause to taste travesseiros (a beloved local sweet that's stuffed with almonds), and meet back up for the trip to the Atlantic Ocean, passing the pretty towns of Colares and Azenhas do Mar. Pause at Cabo da Roca, and then visit Cascais, a fishing village turned elegant seaside escape. Before the return to to Lisbon, you'll stop by a famed gelato shop that's among the best in the country. Your tour ends at the original departure point.

Caution if you have any difficulty walking (especially on slopes)
Lisbon Riders provided an excellent tour, just as advertised. Their pick up point was very clear and they were prompt. As promised it was a small group of 8 or less and all English speakers. Tour van should have a mike/speaker so that those in rear can hear the guide/driver. …

Good day out
Weather wasn't great but still had a fun day out. Went to the most westerly point on mainland europe but couldn't see it because of the fog!! but we just laughed and went on. 4 of us skipped climbing down the well but had a good lunch instead.
