Itinerary
You won't soon forget discovering the wonder that is the Romantic palace from the 19th century. It's among the greatest spots for photos, it is located on top of mountain with a great view.
Queluz's National Palace Originally a hunting lodge in the 17th century, this palace has been converted into a rococo-style summer residence. The magnificent palace gardens are adorned with fountains and statues. A real refinement that transports us to opulent, courtly times centuries ago.
TThe Quinta da Regaleira is an enchanting estate near Lisbon. Built by an eccentric Free Mason, it houses the mysterious Initiation Well and is filled with Pagan and occult symbols.This yet another UNESCO-listed site has anciently carved buildings, incredible gardens and a gothic breeze that will enchant anyone who dares to enter.
the Moorish Castle is a fortification founded in the 10th century during the period the Moors occupied the Iberian Peninsula.. Its famous walls snake across the hills with their granite blocks interlinking boulders and cliffs. Its parapet walk provides stunningly unique views out over the town, the Palace of Pena and, further in the distance, the greens of these hills contrast with the blues of the Atlantic Ocean
This 19th-century villa is a whimsical fusion of Arabic styles, surrounded by classical English gardens and set in the lush, forested hills of Serra de Sintra. This magnificent property is a jungle of exotic trees and flowering shrubs
Sintra Old Town has been a popular destination for centuries, being the former summer residence of the royal family of Portugal. You can have 1 hour free time to have lunch in beautiful old town
Located in the village of Sintra and with over 1000 years of history, the National Palace of Sintra is one of the oldest in Portugal, defining its landscape with the unmistakeable silhouette formed by its two conical chimneys crowning the royal kitchen, there stands the only palace that spans the entire history of Portugal.
We'll finish off with Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Continental Europe, is yet another great spot to take some pictures and feel the ocean breeze.
Cascais has been a popular vacation destination for almost a century, giving it a reputation that more modern resorts don't have. The villas along the shoreline bear witness to its past. There was a prehistoric fishing port in the secluded sandy bay.

Medi was a fantastic guide! We truly enjoyed our experience. The National Palace was unexpectedly closed due to the weather. So, Medi created a new tour for us which was fabulous! We highly recommend Medi.
Medi was pontual, very professional and pleasant. We had a very good time and highly recommend Medi!
We had the best day visiting Sintra, Cabo de Roca and Cascais. Medi was so engaging and knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed. We saw all the beautiful sites in Sintra. He knew all the best places and how to avoid lines and took great care of our teenager daughter when she was getting tired from the overseas travel. The car was so comfortable and was so nice to tailor the experience to what we wanted to do, including visiting a beautiful restaurant on the way to cascais instead of eating in Sintra as we weren’t hungry. Absolutely wonderful beautiful tour and the guide. Loved the ability to customize the trip to our likes. Would definitely book another tour when we are back. Thank you for an amazing trip!

A very long day filled with a lot of information. Our guide was really interesting and attentive. Thank you! You need to be in shape to climb up to the castles. The only small downside was that we traveled in a private car not suitable for 4 adults. The 3 adults in the back were very cramped.
