Small Group Sintra Cascais Estoril Full-day Tour in Lisbon, Portugal
A fascinating day trip to the most exciting places in Lisbon! Visit Sintra, the resting and hunting place of kings and their courtiers. Enjoy the flavor of a Portuguese village with picturesque streets and handicrafts. See the Pena National Palace, one of the most important sites of Portuguese architecture of the Romantic period. Discover the ancient castle, which was one of the favorite residences of the royal family during the 19th century. Walk around the fairy-tale-style building and learn its fascinating history. Explore the mysterious Pena Park, designed by a German botanist. Feel like part of the royal family as you enter the romantic Pena National Palace on top of the mountain, where you will have a beautiful view of the Moorish castle.
Don't miss the incredible opportunity to be photographed against the cliffs of Cape Rock, the westernmost point in Europe. See the enormous sandy bottom of Guincho Beach, where many international surfing competitions are held because of the giant waves. Once in Estoril (followed by Cascais), you'll find lush, ornamental parks leading down to golden beaches. In the early 20th century, the first summer vacation homes, grand hotels, the first casino, and restaurants were built here, all for the wealthy classes of society. At the highest part of the central park is the Estoril Casino, which was the prototype of the famous Casino Royale from the Bond movies. Don't hesitate and see the most stunning locations in Lisbon!
