Overview

A tour that takes you to discover unique royal palaces!
Depart Lisbon towards the National Palace of Queluz, once a summer resort for the Kings of Portugal.
Visit the interior and marvel at the late-baroque and neoclassical style of this building - after all, it is no coincidence that it is nicknamed the “Portuguese Versailles”.
Stroll through the beautiful gardens before returning to your vehicle to head towards Belém, where you will have the chance to stop to observe the Belém Tower, after which you will have free time to explore the area a little and observe the Jerónimos Monastery.
Have lunch at one of the restaurants in the area before traveling back in time to the 19th century and visiting the Ajuda National Palace, the last official residence of the Portuguese monarchy.
Appreciate the enormous dimensions of the palace and learn about the day-to-day life of the court at the end of the 19th century, in a palace that maintains its remarkable interiors intact.
