Experience breathtaking panoramic views while discovering the palaces, mountains, and coastline of Sintra on a guided tour aboard a classic Portuguese 4x4.

Begin your adventure in the Sintra Mountains, exploring all the palaces, including Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, and Quinta da Regaleira. Along the way, we’ll stop at stunning viewpoints and share the history and stories behind each landmark.

In the afternoon, we head to the Sintra coastline, visiting hidden beaches and cliffs, including Azenhas do Mar.

Our journey continues to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, where you can enjoy panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Sintra coastline before returning to Sintra.

We can finish the day with a lunch at a traditional Portuguese restaurant, from classic local cuisine to fresh seafood, with or without ocean views.

Note: The decision to visit palaces is entirely yours, but it's recommended just one, being the whole tour customizable!
