Itinerary
Our tour departs from Lisbon to one of Portugal’s most romantic destinations: Sintra. Here we stroll through the Historic Center, take pictures and tell the history of this Villa. Here you can visit one of the following palaces: National Palace, Biester Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace, Monserrate Palace or Queluz Palace.
Then, our destination is the beach of Azenhas do Mar, known for its oceanic pool and impressive cliffs.
Now it is time to enter through the beautiful Serra de Sintra, crossing pretty old, bucolic streets, where the royal charrets passed and, a few kilometers later, we reached the westernmost point of Europe – Cabo da Roca – whose mountains, with a height of 140 meters, end by the sea and so ends Europe. On site, there is a lighthouse, a gift shop and a coffee shop.
Descending the Serra de Sintra, our route reaches the wild Praia do Guincho, one of the surfers' favourites. Because it winds too much, the waves are larger and attract athletes. Tourists are attracted by the unique beauty of the place.
Our next destination is the famous rocky formation by the sea, the Mouth of Hell. The name of the locality is due to the impact of the waves hitting the rocks, which often seem to shake the ground. The sun reflecting in the water is very beautiful, as it blends the serenity of the open sea with the strength of the waves that go against the rocks.
Our tour ends in the charming Vila de Cascais, where we will stroll through the Historic Center.

We were on a Royal Caribbean Cruise with the Liberty of the Sea and a stop over in Lisbon (July 08 2026), we contacted Portugal Afora with our booking about 2 months before our trip, the process was very easy and they comfirm with our request and give suggestion thru WhatApp, communication (in English) was very good. when we arrive they pick us at the port of Lisbon, Pedro and Emilio greet us right in front of the port and go over our itinerary. We have a special request that they find us a good seafood restaurant, and they did, the foods were very tasty and fresh, and the location was fantastic just look over the ocean (Restarant O Faroleiro). They have a lot of knowledge on the places we visit and guide us on every way they can, (Caicais, Sintra and city of Lisbon). we highly recommand this company for your trip to Lisbon Portogal.

Olá Glanuza tudo bem? Obrigado pelas palavras. Foi um prazer partilhar a história dos locais que visitamos em Sintra, Cascais, Azenhas do Mar e outros destinos. Aquele restaurante é mesmo o que se quer quando se está em viagem: comida caseira e bom preço. As fotos são mesmo uma boa lembrança e é o que vocês deixaram para nós: uma ótima lembrança. Até uma próxima, Caio e Pedro
