(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
LisbonPass-by Only
Depart from anywhere in the Greater Lisbon area on this no-rush tour. The tour departs directly for Mafra, to admire the National Palace, a UNESCO heritage site. Expect a quick and comfortable half-hour drive on the highway.
Palacio Nacional de Mafra
(Visit / 1st Site) Let's explore Mafra and its stunning wonder. The National Palace of Mafra is a Baroque architectural complex comprising a royal palace, basilica, convent, garden and woods. The Palace has an area of around 38,000 square meters, making it one of the largest monuments in Europe. We will visit the splendid exterior of the monument and also the interior of the 18th century grand basilica. We won't be visiting the convent, the royal palace and the gardens, which is also not optional due to the time needed to visit them, which doesn't fit in with the timetable of this tour's itinerary.
Torres Vedras
(Tasting / 1st Winery) We are now entering the countryside, through villages, hills and windmills. Suddenly, we begin to emerge into vineyards as far as the eye can see between the hills. We're in the Torres Vedras area and it's time for our first visit to a winery and the first wine tasting of the day. Enjoy!
