Please note that we will not visit the interior of the palace, and entrance tickets are not included.

Estrada do Guincho (Pass by)

Welcome to the stunning Guincho Road, a scenic stretch that runs between Cascais and Guincho Beach. This coastal route offers a unique driving experience, combining the natural beauty of the shoreline with a sense of adventure. The Guincho Road winds along the cliffs of the Atlantic coast, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and the surrounding landscape. The Atlantic stretches as far as the eye can see, creating a sense of vastness and freedom as you drive. As you travel along the road, you’ll feel the sea breeze on your face, connecting you directly with nature. The gentle curves of the route follow the coastal terrain, providing a thrilling and unforgettable driving experience.

Guincho Beach

Boca do Inferno

  • 30m
The name “Boca do Inferno” (Hell’s Mouth) was given to this site due to its striking rock formation and the powerful, thunderous impact of the waves crashing against the cliffs — creating a dramatic and awe-inspiring natural spectacle.

Santa Marta Lighthouse Museum (Pass by)

Welcome to the Santa Marta Lighthouse, an iconic landmark in the beautiful coastal city of Cascais. This historic lighthouse has played a key role in navigation and maritime safety over the years and remains a defining symbol of the region. The Santa Marta Lighthouse is an elegant seaside structure that stands gracefully by the water’s edge. Its tall, distinctive tower serves as a vital reference point for sailors navigating the Atlantic waters. There’s something poetic about its characteristic light, guiding mariners through the night and in challenging weather conditions.

Cascais (Pass by)

Known as the Portuguese Riviera or the “Sunset of Europe,” the town of Cascais truly has its own charm — it’s hard to find anyone who hasn’t fallen in love with its peaceful streets, elegant seaside mansions, or the colourful fishing boats gently resting by the shore.
