Sintra and Cascais Day Trip from Lisbon**UNESCO World Heritage**

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city with a day trip from Lisbon to Sintra and Cascais, 2 small villages within easy access of the city center, and located in an area of protected natural beauty. Following pick-up from your hotel, drive to Sintra Hills, home to fairy-tale palaces and castles. Look inside Pena Palace, considered one of the most beautiful castles in Europe. Enjoy a pleasant walk in the grounds, and admire views of Lisbon on the horizon from its balconies. Next, we'll explore the picture-postcard village of Sintra, stopping to taste the local pastries and shop for souvenirs. Continue to Cabo da Roca to stand at the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Then we'll drive down narrow roads far from the tourist crowds. Traveling along the coast road, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Tagus River, we'll stop at the fishing village of Cascais, transformed into a home for kings-in-exile and a site of espionage during World War II. Return to Lisbon along the magnificent Avenida Marginal, enjoying views of the Estoril Coast along the way.
