Set in the cool hills north of Lisbon, Sintra has long been a popular summer residence for Portuguese royalty, who built spectacular palaces and mansions in a variety of colors and styles. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage site is a unique cultural landscape.<\/p>\n
This combination of culture and hiking begins with a morning visit to Sintra’s emblematic monuments, when it’s still quiet and you can explore at a leisurely pace. Afternoons are devoted to leisurely strolls along forest trails and dirt roads leading to remarkable viewpoints. You can also admire certain sites from the outside only, and return to them later in the day if you wish.<\/p>\n
After five days, you leave the enchanting palaces and gardens for the Atlantic Ocean. From here, you’ll follow spectacular coastal paths to Europe’s most westerly point, before ending your journey in the charming fishing town of Cascais, just an hour from Lisbon by public transport. During your stay, you’ll stay in a comfortable family hotel and two renovated beach hotels dating from the 1970s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
