Overview

Step into a realm of mystery and breathtaking beauty. Your journey begins at Quinta da Regaleira, a gothic masterpiece where every stone holds a secret. You’ll trace paths through mystical gardens, explore the hidden world of grottos and tunnels, and descend into the legendary Initiation Well, a truly unforgettable experience in esoteric architecture.

Next, climb to the romantic, high-perched Pena Palace. This vibrant castle, a true expression of royal fantasy, stands amid a forested parkland of exotic species and offers sweeping views across the land and sea.

Conclude your tour by embracing Portugal’s dramatic edge. Stop in the enchanting Sintra Old Town to savor local delicacies, then stand at the dramatic cliffs of Cabo da Roca—the very end of continental Europe—before taking in the seaside charm of Cascais. It’s the perfect blend of palace wonder and coastal majesty.
