Estoril coast and Sintra

Join us for a scenic five-hour guided excursion along the rugged Sunny Coast, with visits to a series of picture postcard towns.

You will see historic buildings, admire natural wonders, stroll through landscaped gardens and be able to savour local delicacies on this journey to the westernmost point in continental Europe.

Our first stop is Sintra, a Unesco World Heritage Site, where you will have the opportunity to visit the Palacio da Vila, a retreat used by the Portuguese royal family until its destitution in 1910. Sintra also boasts the Arabesque Palace of Montserrate and the fairytale castle of the Pena National Palace. There will also be time to explore the numerous craft shops and to sample Sintra’s pastries; you shouldn’t leave without tasting a queijada or a travesseiro.

We will then drive on to towards the Cabo da Rocha, Portugal’s very own Land’s End and the most westerly point of continental Europe. Travelling along this dramatic coast, we will pass the spellbinding Praia do Guincho before arriving at the elegant resort of Cascais. Highlights along this leg include the breathtaking Boca do Inferno cliffs and the magnificent panorama of the bay of Cascais.

As we make our way back to Lisbon, we will pass through Estoril, with its world-famous gardens and casino on a rocky promontory overlooking a beach.
