The day begins with a private pick-up from your hotel or apartment in Lisbon. From there, your guide will drive you into the lush green hills surrounding Sintra town, a region known for its castles, palaces, and poetic atmosphere.

Next, it’s time for lunch. We’ll take you to a local spot far from the tourist trail where you can enjoy classic Portuguese dishes like grilled fish, roasted meats, and regional wine.

In the afternoon, you’ll ascend to the hilltop Pena Palace. This is one of the most iconic Sintra Castles, with its romantic architecture, vibrant colors, and forested surroundings. You’ll visit the palace grounds and interior, learning about its royal past and soaking in the spectacular views over the region.

We’ll also make time for a stroll through Sintra town, where you can admire the traditional architecture, snap photos, and enjoy a famous local pastry.

We’ll head back to Lisbon by late afternoon, with your guide dropping you off comfortably at your accommodation. There will be no stress or rush. It will be just a full day of discovering the magic of Sintra Lisbon.
