Itinerary

Day 12: Sintra | Lisbon
Monday, October 12, 2026
After disembarkation join a guide for a half-day excursion to Sintra. This picturesque village and UNESCO World Heritage Site—which has been a retreat for royalty and nobility over generations—is renowned for its stunning landscapes, fairy-tale-like palaces and rich history.

See Pena Palace standing atop a hill surrounded by lush gardens. This multi-colored structure features an eclectic mix of Neo-Gothic, Neo-Renaissance and Moorish styles reflecting the 19th-century Romanticism that inspired its construction. Pass by Sintra National Palace in the heart of town, distinguished by its two conical chimneys. It's the oldest surviving palace in Portugal with roots tracing back to the Middle Ages. Sintra's charming old town is a delightful maze of narrow cobblestone streets lined with quaint shops, cafés and bakeries. During the tour hear anecdotes and historical tales about the figures who lived and vacationed here, such as King Ferdinand II, who was pivotal in shaping the region’s aesthetic legacy.

Enjoy free time for lunch on your own before continuing to the hotel for check-in. The remainder of the day is open to explore Lisbon independently.
