Overview

Experience an unforgettable day in Sintra and Cascais without driving. We will pick you up from your hotel, airport, or cruise terminal, and our local guide will show you every special corner along the way.

The first stop is the magnificent Pena Palace with entry ticket included and guided tour through its colourful terraces and fairy-tale views.

Then enjoy free time in Sintra’s historic centre. Taste traditional pastries for lunch, walk through its centuries-old streets, absorb the romantic atmosphere, and discover hidden corners filled with the aroma of fresh sweets.

Next, we head to Cabo da Roca, where the westernmost cliffs of Europe meet the power of the Atlantic. The scenic coastal drive continues to Cascais where you will visit the Boca do Inferno, admire golden beaches, and enjoy the relaxed seaside atmosphere to end your day.

Check the booking option that best suits you and we will take care of the rest.

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.

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.
