Itinerary
Your private tour begins with a hotel or central Lisbon pickup in a premium Mercedes vehicle. Your driver-guide introduces the route and adjusts the plan to your preferences before departing toward Sintra.
Arrive in Sintra's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site encompassing palaces, castles, estates, and parks spanning multiple cultural periods. The stop focuses on exterior views and elevated vantage points over the romantic hillside town, with dedicated time for photography.
Travel to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost cape of the Sintra Mountain Range and of continental Europe, situated in the municipality of Sintra near Azoia. The site features a working lighthouse operational since 1772, dramatic cliff scenery, and sweeping views over the Atlantic Ocean.
Continue along the Atlantic coast, passing beaches known for their surf conditions and large Atlantic swells. The coastal road between Cabo da Roca and Cascais is one of the most scenic drives in the Lisbon region.
