Admire the National Palace of Sintra and one of Portugal’s most extensive collections of decorative tiles. Lunchtime will be spent wandering around the historical village, followed by a quick stop at local patisseries where you can try some of Sintra's well-known delicacies.

The journey continues to the eclectic Monserrate Palace, a glorious estate that once served as summer residence for the British elites in Portugal.
