Itinerary

Lisbon

Our Lisbon and Sintra Tour will start by visiting Lisbon who was practically devastated by the earthquake of 1755, the largest ever recorded in Europe, so it was necessary to design a new city with the first anti-seismic constructions, drawn with a set of straight and perpendicular streets organized around an axis the central part of Rua Augusta. In these streets were given the names of the various crafts of the time and artisans of that time among them; cobblers, corraliros, of gold.

“Baixa de Lisboa” is also known for the monumentality of its buildings, which represent a new social order that values the merchant and financial class. To test the resilience of these buildings to a new earthquake used troops marching inside buildings.

Sintra

In the center of Sintra we have the imposing ” Palacio da Vila” or National Palace with its two conical chimneys, so characteristic, that will serve as a compass to know where you are, constructed at the end of the XIV century and used as holiday resort of several kings to the throughout the Portuguese history.

Where each room is decorated differently and has a different history, its interior is a true tile museum, with applications from the century XVI, from the beginning of its use in Portugal.

Discover the charm of the narrow alleys and the typical and regional products stores, letting yourself be taken to the Piriquita pastry where the famous sweets ” Queijadas de Sintra and “Travesseiros de Sintra” are waiting for you.

Sintra Palaces

The choice of what palace ( or palaces ) to visit its yours, the guide will suggest that it is best for you to visit between; “Quinta da Regaleira”a palace from the XIX. although it seems to be older, with a decoration that impresses, rich in Masonic symbolism, Moorish Castle a testimony of the Islamic presence in the region,.

The Castle was built between the 8th and 9th centuries and enlarged after the Reconquest or why not the Palaçio da Pena, a a fantastical and revivalist reconstruction, to the taste of nineteenth-century romanticism, which was owed to the passion and imagination of the artist D. Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, consort of D. Maria II.

Lunch

According to your taste and gastronomic restrictions we will suggest a restaurant (not included in price), in this tour we have two suggestions; in Sintra a traditional restaurant, with typical kitchen or in Cascais where the fish meals prevail, more properly in the Guincho region where abound restaurants of fish and seafood, a little more formal.

Roca Cape

Roca Cape or “Cabo da Roca” the most western geographical location of Portugal and Continental Europe, surrounded by a mysticism that proves the connection of the Portuguese people to the superstitious and the Catholic religion, surrounded by the Atlantic except for one side, the geological formation is also known among the sites as “The Snout of the Rock”.

Some prefer to call it “Promontory of the Moon,” a more poetic name, but one that fits the beauty of the place.

With thousands of visitors every year, Roca Cape was mentioned by the Portuguese poet Camoes in “Os Lusíadas”, In his words this was the place “where the Earth ends and the sea begins”, part of the Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais and from there it is possible to put on the shoes and follow the ecological rails of the Serra de Sintra.

Cascais and Estoril

Free time in Cascais this ancient fisherman´s village turned into a beautiful and cosmopolitan beach resort, bathed by the Atlantic Ocean.

Right next to it there´s Estoril, famous for its casino ( largest gambling room in Europe ) and by the fact of the Yan Fleming wrote the first 007 nobel Casino Royale during the 2nd world war from here will get back to Lisbon along road “Marginal” enjoying breathtaking ocean scenery along the coast arriving more precisely in Belem or Bethlehem

Belem ( Bethlehem )

Belem the Lisbon district that personifies the epic of the Portuguese Discoveries with several monuments classified Cultural Patrimony of the Humanity by Unesco such as the Jerónimos Monastery and Torre de Belém of the Manueline style in an urban set unique in the world and also, more modern the Monument of the Discoveries and the Plaza do Imperio complete the sense of grandeur of the times of the Great Portuguese Empire. Wander through the elements that tell the story

All this in a pleasant place next to the Tagus River with green spaces and unique atmosphere with marinas and sailing clubs and still a cycle path where the pure air of the sea competes with the beauty of the view. You will not want to miss the Pastels of Bethlehem, this secret and magical recipe that makes us smile.

Now it´s time to close with a golden key our day, with the visit and tasting of the famous “pasteis de Belem”, in the only place where they are sold and where the secret is kept, since few people know their confection, a secret that is passed from generation to generation.
