Sintra's palaces and the Atlantic coast in one day
One guided day covers UNESCO-listed Sintra, Quinta da Regaleira's underground Initiation Well, the colourful Pena Palace, the Atlantic cliffs at Cabo da Roca and the resort town of Cascais: four places that would otherwise mean juggling trains, buses and taxis.
With the fuller ticket option, skip-the-line entry to Pena and Regaleira saves the long summer queues. Expect real walking, some uphill, and free time in Cascais before the drive back along the Estoril coast.
Best for
- A well-paced first look at Sintra and the coast
- Skipping train timetables and ticket queues
- Pena, Regaleira and a coastal town in one day
Highlights
- Pena Palace's towers and gardens
- Regaleira's nine-storey Initiation Well
- Cabo da Roca, mainland Europe's westernmost point
- Free time in Cascais
