Overview

Embark in a private sightseeing tour of historic Sintra and its stunning surroundings. Stop to see important sites along the way and enjoy exploring places not included on typical tourist routes.
You’ll have plenty of time on this full-day trip to take in all the spots of historic importance and admire views of the area’s natural splendour.
You will visit two lesser-known monuments of Sintra:
The National Queluz Palace, or the Natural Monserrate Palace.
Two of the lesser-known and "forgotten" palaces of Sintra, away from the overcrowded Pena Palace.
After seeing the highlights of Sintra we will drive through the National Park of Sintra to the coastline. There we will visit the western-most point of continental Europe, Cabo da Roca, and before returning to Lisbon, we will pass by the coastal village of Cascais.

Parque e Palacio de Monserrate

Monserrate attracted numerous international visitors, especially among the British, who praised its beauty in their travel accounts and engravings. When Francis Cook,visited here, he was fascinated. From this passion there emerged a masterpiece of Romanticism: the Park and Palace of Monserrate. Francis Cook put his dream into practice in transforming Monserrate into what we know today, with its exuberant gardens, with the exotic species sourced from every corner of the world. This palace represents a true ode to romantic architecture, the refined taste of Francis Cook and the genius of its architect James Knowles Jr., who combined various different influences here. However, the history of this charming site is marked by many different vicissitudes. Come and discover it with us.
