Itinerary
Meet your guide in central Lisbon
Your day begins at a convenient central meeting point in Lisbon. Board the comfortable, air-conditioned minibus and leave the city behind, as your guide shares stories about the lush landscapes you will see during the tour.
Breakfast break in Sintra
Before the main adventure begins, you'll stop at a cozy café near Sintra's historic center. Grab a coffee, use the restroom, and fuel up with a traditional Portuguese pastry if you'd like. It's the perfect moment to relax before heading up to the palace.
Explore the whimsical interior of Pena Palace
Step inside this vivid hilltop castle, where Gothic arches meet Moorish tiles and Renaissance courtyards. Follow your guide through the royal rooms and marvel at the eclectic blend of architectural styles that King Ferdinand II brought together in this 19th-century masterpiece.
Admire the views from the Pena Palace terraces
Step outside onto the palace terraces for sweeping views over the forested hills and distant Atlantic. From this hilltop perch, you can spot the ancient Moorish Castle and understand why Portuguese royalty chose this breathtaking location as their summer retreat.
Visit the clifftops of Azenhas do Mar
Next, head to the coast for a photo stop at the stunning village of Azenhas do Mar. This white-washed town clings to a cliffside above a natural sea pool carved into the rock. You will have a moment to take in the seriously impressive views where the Atlantic crashes against the stone.
