X-DAY TRIP | SINTRA & CASCAIS

Escape Lisbon for a day of dramatic coastline, secret Sintra corners and coastal Cascais with a local guide who avoids the usual tourist hordes. The experience blends scenic drives, short walks and free time to explore favourites chosen for atmosphere rather than crowds — a lesser-known palace in Sintra, the most western point of continental Europe, Guincho beach and the town of Cascais. The pace is playful and flexible: stop to stroll, swim, eat or relax with a glass of wine as the day unfolds like a road movie.

• Entrance ticket to the guide’s favourite palace in Sintra
