From €59Day Trips in Sintra & Cascais
The classic Sintra and Cascais day trip from Lisbon is the easiest way to see Portugal's most romantic landscapes in one go. A typical route climbs to Pena Palace, pauses at Quinta da Regaleira, then drops to the Atlantic at Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, before finishing in the seaside town of Cascais.
Day trips handle the logistics that make Sintra tricky to do alone: traffic, limited parking, and timed palace entries. Round-trip transport from Lisbon, a guide and the main stops are included. Bring comfortable shoes for the hilly grounds and a light layer, as the coast is breezier than the city.
