Cabo da Roca, Pena Palace and the Magic of Sintra
Pay a visit to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point on the European mainland. This headland is an important coordinate for anybody sailing along the coast, making it a remarkable and symbolic place to experience.
From roughly 150 meters above the sea, enjoy a panoramic view of the Serra de Sintra and out across the coastline. The sweeping scenery makes the trip here well worth the visit.
Go on a guided tour of Pena Royal Palace, one of the top 10 most beautiful palaces in the world. A true enchanted palace, it is also one of the finest examples of the Romantic revival of the 19th century.
Enjoy free time, with the possibility of dining at a traditional restaurant serving local delicacies.
Visit Sintra town and learn about the ancient myths of Celtic bards, the Moorish legends, the passions of the Christian Reconquest, and the masonry that makes this site so unique in the world and yet so magical.
Explore the Historical Centre of Sintra, with its traditional narrow streets full of flowers, local craft shops, and viewpoints, along with a compulsory stop for traditional sweets and Ginjinha (cherry liqueur).
Head to Regaleira Palace and Gardens, a place with a spirit of its own. Built in the early 20th century, this expression of Romantic style rises in the middle of the forest and is the result of the mythological dream of its owner, António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro.
