About this activity

An 8-hour guided journey combining Lisbon's iconic hilltop views, historic monasteries, and skip-the-line access to the colourful Pena Palace in Sintra, capped with a scenic coastal drive through Cascais and Estoril. Perfect for maximising Portugal's most celebrated landmarks in a single day without logistical hassle.

Embark on an exciting 8-hour tour and discover all the highlights of the beautiful city of Lisbon, as well as the popular attractions of Pena Palace in Sintra and the impressive coast of Estoril.

Begin the day with a walk through some of the main squares and plazas that truly transform Lisbon into a European capital. Climb to the top of Lisbon's highest hill for a breathtaking view of the sprawling city and the old Moorish quarter of Alfama. See the stunning Castle of Saint George and continue with a panoramic tour of the astonishing Jeronimos Monastery and the nearby Tower of Belem.

In the afternoon, visit the stunning World Heritage Site of Sintra, walking through the narrow streets that lead to the top of the mountain to visit the 19th-century extravaganza of King Ferdinand: the Pena Palace.

Continue your tour with a relaxing journey along the beautiful coast of Lisbon, starting in the small historical centre of Cascais and the coast of Estoril.
