Overview

Combine Sintra’s romantic palace landscapes with Lisbon’s historic neighbourhoods on one private day trip. Travel with your own driver-guide to the Pena Palace area and Sintra’s historic centre, then continue to the capital for Belém, Baixa and a panoramic drive through Alfama.

Discover the contrast between Sintra’s wooded hills and royal heritage, the Manueline architecture of the Jerónimos Monastery area and the elegant streets of downtown Lisbon. Your guide shares the stories that connect these places, while private transport keeps the journey personal for your group.

This route offers an introduction to both destinations within the existing tour schedule. Pena Palace tickets and all other monument admission fees are not included.
