Suggested itinerary
From Sintra’s royal landscapes to Lisbon by sea.
Start promptly at 08:30. Sailing has a strict 15:30–17:30 schedule, so we carefully manage each land stop to protect boarding time. We strongly recommend visiting just one monument.
One Sintra palace or estate
Your guide helps you choose between Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Monserrate, Queluz or the Moorish Castle. Visit just one to leave time for the coast and sailing. Entry tickets are not included. For Pena Palace, buy tickets in advance for the opening time slot.
Sintra historic centre
Stroll through picturesque lanes, admire the village’s royal setting and browse local shops. A traditional Sintra pastry makes a lovely stop, with refreshments paid separately.
Cabo da Roca — optional
Travel through the Sintra hills via Colares towards Cascais. If time allows, stop at Cabo da Roca for sweeping Atlantic views from mainland Europe’s westernmost point.
Cascais Bay
Enjoy the seaside atmosphere, waterfront and elegant bay before heading to Cascais Marina. There is time for lunch along the route, paid separately, with the schedule kept on track for boarding.
Exclusive boat trip — 2 hours included
Depart Cascais Marina at 15:30 for a relaxing private sail to Lisbon Docks, arriving at 17:30. Enjoy the coast and views of Bugio Lighthouse, Belém Tower, the Monument to the Discoveries and the 25 de Abril Bridge along the route. Add optional Open Bar (€10/person) or Finger Food (€16/person) for an extra touch of indulgence.
