Sintra

You will begin your journey at your location where our guide will be waiting for you at the appointed time to head to Sintra, where you will feel like crossing over into a fairytale world. This town is in a green mountainous area of palaces, country estates, parks and a medieval castle. Our first stop will be in the center at Palace of Sintra, which was a residence for the Portuguese royalty, and whose fairytale clutter of towers atop a high peak will simply bewilder you. We will continue our tour to an enigmatic residence, Quinta da Regaleira, the playground of a wealthy eccentric. You will walk through woodland planted with giant exotic trees in the 19th century. Alternatively, carry on to the coast for beaches beneath sky-scraping cliffs, of Cabo da Roca, at the very edge of mainland Europe.
