Once you meet your guide, set out in a comfortable minivan for a ride into the fairytale landscape of the Sintra hills.

Next, you head downhill to visit the postcard-worthy village of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture and delectable pastries. Browse for some charming souvenirs before moving on to Cabo da Roca, where you can admire the Atlantic Ocean from the westernmost point on mainland Europe.

The last leg of your journey takes you along a coastal road to Cascais. Your guide shares a few stories about the history of this peaceful fishing village, once a home for kings in exile and a hotspot of espionage during World War II.
