Queluz, Sintra, and Estoril Private Full Day Tour

Cost: $370.00
Tour Length: Full Day
Activity Level: Moderate

This tour adds to the half-day tour to Sintra & Estoril Coast (see details here), a visit to Queluz National Palace of the 18th century and, other visits to two more interesting monuments or places of your choice. By doing this tour, you will be able to visit this zone with much more time available. As an option, instead of visiting other monuments, you can choose, for instance, to spend some quality time on a terrace by the sea, in Cascais or in Guincho, watching the sunset. Other possibility is to spend the remaining time, calmly visiting the commercial area of Cascais. In short, it will be a whole day just for yourself and you’ll choose how to spend it. In case you prefer to visit other monuments or places of interest, besides the Pena and the Queluz Palaces, here are our suggestions: Sintra National Palace (Located in the centre of Sintra. Its date of construction is not very clear, because it suffered several interventions over the centuries. The initial building was a Moorish palace, but the appearance it has nowadays, is due to profound architectural modifications done during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries).

Pena Park (Natural Park, surrounding Pena National Palace. Here you could spend many hours, if you enjoy nature).

Sintra Moorish Castle (Fortress from the 9th century, constructed by the Moors, during their occupation period. Due to its privileged location, it allows magnificent views over Sintra and the sea).

Convent of Capuchos (This convent was built among the trees and the great blocks of granite, which are part of the building itself. Founded in 1560, the small cells, the cork-coating on doors, are proof of the Faith and humbleness of those who lived there).

Quinta da Regaleira (Built in the end of the 19th century, Regaleira is formed by a Palace, a Chapel and gardens with grottos, wells and subterranean areas. In the palace, as well as in the remaining areas, some symbolic and mythological themes are found, some of them of an esoteric nature).

Seteais Palace (Today, this Neoclassic palace from the 18th century is a luxury hotel).

Monserrate Park (Conceived in a romantic environment, where exotic plants grow amongst the local flora, it is today an important botanic museum).

Colares Wine-Cellar (You will be able to visit the cellars of a precious wine in risk of extinction. Open only on week days).

Note: Pena National Palace closes on Mondays, Sintra National Palace closes on Wednesdays and Queluz National Palace closes on Tuesdays.
