Program details
Walk through paradise with this exciting tour of Sintra, one of the single most beautiful towns and forests in Portugal. The renowned British poet Lord Byron, romantic of romantics, once famously compared it to the Garden of Eden. And indeed, its natural splendor and exuberance do seem to have some other-worldly quality to them.This little heaven on earth is located just outside Lisbon. The moment you arrive you will easily realize why people like Hans Christian Andersen and Gloria Swanson were thrilled by the magic and mystique that emanate from the palaces, villas and estates of this charming village. The Sintra National Palace is the single best preserved mediaeval palace in the country. On the other hand, with its characteristic Manueline and Moorish styles, the Pena National Palace and its profusion of exotic and eclectic styles are bound to make you fall in love with this masterpiece of architectural Romanticism.
Delve into the beautiful Quinta da Regaleira, a true treat for the senses. Surrounded by magnificent gardens, lakes and caves, this little wonder is filled with the secrets of many ancient orders, such as the Masons or the Templar Knights. You will also be able to explore Roca Cape, the westernmost point of continental Europe; the fabulous Guincho beach, with its heavenly expanses of sand; and the towns of Cascais, Oeiras and Estoril (as well as its famous casino). Discover why this coastline has been dubbed the ‘Portuguese Riviera'.
