Private Day Tour to Sintra Cabo da Roca and Cascais
Sintra is classified as World Heritage, a true treasure for its natural richness, its monuments and an inexplicable magic. This tour focuses on the most emblematic places and all the singularities that make this a unique landscape. This experience with a local guide will be a blessing, with the scenery changing as we take the road from the mountain, stopping at the westernmost point of Europe, continuing along the coast, ending in the center of Cascais. We will pass by the Moorish Castle, Pena Palace, Biester Palace, Sintra National Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Monserrate Palace and you can choose to visit. From lush gardens, lakes, caves and mystical constructions that hide alchemical meanings, such as those evoked by Freemasonry, Templars and Rosicrucians. Unmissable. Cascais will be the second attraction on this tour, a place that was once a fishing village, is now a paradise of beauty and glamor by the Atlantic.

What's included in Private Day Tour to Sintra Cabo da Roca and Cascais
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Sintra National Palace
The National Palace of Sintra, also known as Palácio da Vila, was one of the palaces used by the Portuguese Royal Family practically until the end of the Monarchy, in 1910.
Park and National Palace of Pena
We will pass through the gardens and the palace. It represents one of the best expressions of 19th century Romanticism in the world. Rising on a steep rock, it is the second highest point in the Serra de Sintra. On July 7, 2007, it was chosen as one of the seven wonders of Portugal, being, in fact, the first romantic palace in Europe, built about 30 years before the charismatic Schloss Neuschwanstein, in Bavaria. From the Palace, the visitor can see a mantle of trees that occupies more than 200 hectares, thus constituting the Parque da Pena. This park has beautiful paths and walks, with numerous garden constructions existing there. There are bridges and caves, garden benches, pergolas and fountains. Greenhouses and nurseries with camellias, rhododendrons and roses of unusual and very rare strains. The entire Parque da Pena is today considered the park in Europe, with the richest and most unusual set of tree species that no longer exist in many other countries and continents where they originate.
Volta Do DuchePass-by Only
Moorish Fountain Built in 1922, with a project by Master José da Fonseca, the Moorish fountain was built with the aim of enhancing the entrance to the village and “dignifying the most appreciated water in Sintra”. The widening of the road, in 1960, forced the dismantling of the fountain, being rebuilt 20 years later, not in its original place, but in the middle of Volta do Duche. In the revivalist architecture of the fountain, the great arch stands out, in which three other arches appear topped by neo-Moorish tiles, standing out in the center, the stone of arms of the municipality.
