Sintra, Cascais and Estoril Coast Half-Day Trip from Lisbon

Description

Discover the natural beauty of Portugal on a relaxing afternoon tour from Lisbon. Travel to Estoril, Cascais Bay and Hell's Mouth (Boca do Inferno), and take in views of the Atlantic Ocean on the drive along the Portuguese coast. Continue to the town of Sintra to visit the enchanting UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pena Palace (Palácio Nacional da Pena), and admire the Portuguese countryside from your comfortable coach on the drive back to Lisbon.

Meet your local guide in central Lisbon or enjoy pickup from your hotel, and take in views of the Tagus River from your comfortable coach as you head to the coast of Portugal.

When you arrive in Estoril, enjoy a short walking tour around this coastal town with your guide. Continue your journey along the Estoril Coast to Cascais Bay and admire the beautiful beaches on the Atlantic Ocean.

Cabo da Roca, Europe's westernmost point on the Portuguese coast, is your next stop (April to October only, weather permitting). See the cape's lighthouse overlooking the vast Atlantic Ocean.

Then head inland, and learn interesting facts about Portugal on the drive through Sintra-Cascais Natural Park to Pena Palace (Palácio Nacional da Pena) in the town of Sintra. With your guide, tour the fairytale-like castle and its gardens, and learn interesting facts about Portuguese royalty.
