During the visit, visitors will have the opportunity to admire the exterior of the palace, its panoramic terraces and spectacular views of Sintra, the Atlantic Ocean and, on clear days, to Lisbon. The Guide will explain the history of the palace, its cultural importance and curiosities about the Portuguese royal family, providing a complete historical framework.

Cabo da Roca
Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point of continental Europe — “where the earth ends and the sea begins,” as the poet Luis de Camões wrote. Located on the coast of Sintra, this promontory impresses with its sharp cliffs of 140 meters high, beaten by the waves of the Atlantic. The lighthouse, dated 1772, and the cross with the inscription of the famous poetic citation make the place even more symbolic. It is a place of crude and dramatic beauty, where the wind and the sea meet in an absolutely unforgettable setting. Ideal for a memorable photographic stop and to feel the power of nature in its purest state. Visiting Cape da Roca is like being on the edge of the European continent — a simple but deeply striking moment for any traveler.

Boca do Inferno
The Boca do Inferno is an impressive seafront rock formation located in Cascais. This place owes its name to the darkening sound of the Atlantic waves striking in the natural caves, creating a dramatic spectacle, especially on busy sea days. The rock seems to “engulf” the sea in a deep opening, as if it were the entrance to hell itself — hence the name. In the past, it inspired writers, artists and even occultists, and is now one of the most visited points in the region. The combination of the power of nature, the rocky landscape and the view over the ocean make Boca do Inferno a must stop for those who visit the Cascais coastline. A perfect place for photographs, contemplation and to feel the strength of the Portuguese sea.

Centro Historico de Cascais
The historic centre of Cascais is a charming combination of tradition, elegance and beachfront life. An ancient fishing village that became a summer resort of the Portuguese royal family in the 19th century, Cascais preserves pedestrian streets, cosy squares and historic buildings full of color and character. Walking through the centre is to discover small shops, cafés with terraces, seafood restaurants and local markets. Among the highlights are the 5th of October Square, the Palace of the Dukes of Palmela, the Cidadela and the Bay of Cascais, with its fishing boats still active. It is a vibrant yet relaxed place where tradition and cosmopolitanism meet with the sound of the waves as the backdrop. Perfect for hiking, tasting local flavors and absorbing the unique atmosphere of the Portuguese coast.
