★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 211 reviews · 6 hours · from $176Our pick

Travel from Lisbon in a small group of up to 12 with a bilingual guide such as Rui, Walter, Jorge, or Pedro. See Pena Palace from the outside, stroll Sintra, then hike from Cabo da Roca toward Praia da Adraga. Expect about six hours, fresh Atlantic air, steep paths, and excellent scenery.

“The day of our trip was raining, chilly, and foggy but Walter our guide made the best of the situation. He quickly came up with alternatives to help keep us dry which made the entire trip enjoyable. Definitely would recommend this day trip to Sintra as our kind was very informative and knowledgable about the area. He also stayed after the tour to see if we needed any recommendations for a place to eat when we got back to Lisbon.”
