Overview
Where fairytales, cliffs, and Atlantic charm come to life.
Your adventure begins in the mystical hills of Sintra, where you’ll step into the storybook world of the Pena Palace, walk the ancient battlements of the Moorish Castle, with sweeping views that stretch from forest to sea.
Dive deeper into mystery at Quinta da Regaleira, a surreal estate filled with underground tunnels, symbolic gardens, and the iconic Initiation Well.
Then, trade castles for coastline as you head toward the wild beauty of Colares’ beaches — from the golden sands of Praia das Maçãs to the raw Praia da Adraga.
Stand where Europe ends at Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of the continent, follow the winding coast to the windswept splendor of Guincho Beach.
Experience the power of the sea at Boca do Inferno, where waves crash into a natural chasm in a roaring display of nature’s force — and finally, unwind in the timeless elegance of Cascais. Explore its charming old town, vibrant bay, with all it´s charm.

What To Expect
Park and National Palace of Pena
Rising high above the surrounding forests, Pena Palace is a true fairytale brought to life. With its bold red and yellow towers, domes, and romantic terraces, this palace is not only a visual marvel but a symbol of 19th-century Romanticism in Europe.
Here, you’ll find a spectacular blend of Gothic, Moorish, Manueline, and Renaissance styles — each corner of the palace tells a unique story.
Step outside, and you’ll be met with stunning views of the Sintra Mountains, the Atlantic Ocean in the distance, and on clear days, even the city of Lisbon. The surrounding Pena Park is just as magical.
Pena Palace isn’t just a monument — it’s an experience. Whether you’re here for the history, the art, or simply the wonder of standing inside a real-life palace, your visit to Pena will be unforgettable.

Castelo dos Mouros
Nestled high in the Sintra hills, this ancient fortress dates back to the 8th and 9th centuries, when the Iberian Peninsula was under Moorish rule. Built to protect the surrounding territory and monitor the Atlantic coast, the castle once served as a vital military stronghold. Today, its ruins offer a powerful reminder of the region’s complex and layered history.
Though time and the elements have left the fortress in ruins, its charm remains intact — its crumbling towers, moss-covered stone, and sweeping vistas give the Moorish Castle a romantic, almost mystical character. It's a place where history and nature meet, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the forest.
The Moorish Castle is more than just a fortress — it’s a window into Portugal’s medieval past and a breathtaking setting that invites reflection and awe. Whether you're here for the history, the scenery, or the serenity, this site offers an unforgettable step back in time.

Quinta da Regaleira
Tucked into a lush hillside and surrounded by dense, magical gardens, Quinta da Regaleira is not just a palace — it is a place of symbols, secrets, and stories.
From the moment you enter, you step into a world where Gothic, Renaissance, and Manueline styles blend into a setting that feels like a dream. The palace itself is richly detailed, but it’s the gardens that truly make this place unique — a maze of tunnels, grottoes, fountains, and towers, each with symbolic meaning.At the heart of the estate lies its most iconic feature: the Initiation Well. Spiraling deep into the earth like an inverted tower, this mysterious structure was never meant to hold water — instead, it is believed to symbolize a spiritual journey or initiation, tied to esoteric traditions like alchemy, Masonry, and the Rosicrucians.
Nothing in Quinta da Regaleira is random — every stone, carving, and plant is part of a greater philosophical and mystical narrative.

Colares
We will travel in Sintra coastline, home of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, like the famous Praia das Maçãs, or Apple Beach. Named after the apples that once floated down the river to the sea, this beach is a favorite among families and surfers alike.
Just a short distance away is Praia Grande, or Big Beach — and it truly lives up to its name. This vast stretch of sand is a paradise for surfers and bodyboarders, and also home to international surf competitions. At the far end, don’t miss the stunning dinosaur footprints fossilized in the cliffs — a rare glimpse into Portugal’s prehistoric past.
For something more secluded, we´ll head to Praia da Adraga. Tucked between rugged cliffs and shaped by wind and sea, this beach is wildly beautiful and untouched. With dramatic rock formations, hidden caves, and a peaceful atmosphere, it’s one of the region’s most photographed — and for good reason.
This is where nature speaks — and all you have to do is listen.

Guincho Beach
Set against the backdrop of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, just west of Cascais and a short drive from Sintra, Praia do Guincho offers a raw and untamed landscape unlike any other. Here, golden dunes, crashing Atlantic waves, and wind-carved cliffs create a dramatic setting that feels both cinematic and timeless.
This isn’t your typical calm, sunbathing beach — Guincho is famous for its strong winds and powerful surf, making it a world-class destination for surfers, windsurfers, and kitesurfers. In fact, it regularly hosts international competitions and attracts thrill-seekers from around the globe.
But Guincho isn’t just for adrenaline lovers. For nature enthusiasts, it’s a dreamscape — a place where the ocean meets the dunes, and the light changes by the hour.
At sunset, the entire beach glows in shades of amber and gold, offering one of the most breathtaking views on the Portuguese coast.

Farol do cabo da Roca
Located within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, Cabo da Roca is a place of dramatic beauty and deep symbolism. Standing 140 meters above sea level, at the edge of the cliffs, you are not just witnessing a geographic boundary — you are standing at the very edge of the known world, as it was imagined for centuries.
The poet Luís de Camões once described this place as “Onde a terra se acaba e o mar começa” — “Where the land ends and the sea begins.” And as you look out over the endless horizon, you’ll understand exactly what he meant.
The Cabo da Roca viewpoint offers more than just spectacular photo opportunities. It’s a moment of reflection, of awe, of connection with the raw power of nature. Whether you arrive on a sunny day or beneath swirling mists, the experience is always unforgettable.
Cabo da Roca is not just a place on the map — it is a destination for the soul, where sky, sea, and stone meet in one of nature’s most poetic landscapes.

Boca do Inferno
Carved by the relentless force of the Atlantic Ocean, Boca do Inferno is a natural sea cave and cliff formation, where waves crash with thunderous power into a jagged chasm in the limestone rock. The name — Hell’s Mouth — comes from the eerie roar of the water echoing through the cave, especially during rough seas, creating a spectacle that feels both mesmerizing and fearsome.
Over centuries, the sea has sculpted this coastal cliff into a wide, open cavern — and when the tide is high or a storm rolls in, the sound and spray are nothing short of spectacular.
But Boca do Inferno isn’t just about the force of nature — it’s also steeped in myth and mystery. Local legends speak of tragic love stories and sea monsters, adding to the mystical atmosphere that surrounds the site. It even inspired early filmmakers and writers, who were drawn to its haunting beauty.
Boca do Inferno is a reminder of nature’s majesty and power — a place where earth and ocean meet with extraordinary force.

Cascais
A baía de Cascais, em forma de concha, é o coração pulsante da cidade. Com águas calmas, barcos coloridos e uma vista ampla sobre o mar, este é o lugar onde moradores e visitantes se encontram para relaxar, passear e apreciar o cenário. Ao longo do paredão marítimo, cafés e esplanadas convidam a momentos de contemplação ao som das ondas.À medida que nos afastamos da beira-mar, entramos na cidade velha de Cascais, um labirinto de ruas estreitas, calçadas de pedra e fachadas coloridas. Aqui, o tempo parece abrandar. As casas tradicionais, lojas artesanais, restaurantes típicos e praças acolhedoras contam a história de uma vila que já acolheu reis, artistas e exploradores.
Seja para apreciar a arquitetura histórica, saborear a gastronomia local, ou simplesmente sentir a brisa do mar à sombra das palmeiras, a baía e a cidade velha de Cascais oferecem uma experiência única — onde o luxo discreto e a simplicidade autêntica coexistem em perfeita harmonia.
