The excursion from Lisbon to Sintra and Cascais was the best day of our vacation in Portugal! Our tour guide Catarina Palma knows so much about the history of Portugal and she had great recommendations for restaurants in Sintra and Cascais. She was also funny and made our day extra special! Sintra and Cascais are both gorgeous. Not to be missed when you go to Lisbon.

The tour came as advertised. It was well organized, people assembled at the location and were divided into groups by language. The tour guide gave out information at both sites ( could have added more while we were driving to the site). We had 90 minutes on our own at lunch time, which was good.

Wow what can I say about our guide Nelson who was very interesting and friendly. His French was impeccable and he passed on his subject (history) in a thoughtful way. He's passionate about what he does and it shows.

Back to the Pena bus via the forest. Restaurant suggestion was a buffet formula which was a very good idea and we were well received. The stop at the westernmost point Cabo da roca was a good one. The stop at Cascais was less relevant. We would have preferred more time at other points.

More about Lisbon day trips

Departure

Arrive a little early at your designated meeting point in Lisbon’s bustling center. Your guide will greet you, and once aboard the comfortable coach, you’ll glide out of the city toward the misty hills of Sintra, palaces on the horizon, and stories waiting to unfold.

Winding into Sintra

The ride itself is half the fun. Vine-clad slopes, turreted mansions peeking through the trees, and your guide sprinkling in legends of jealous kings and poetic exiles. By the time you arrive, Sintra already feels like another world.

Pena Palace & Gardens

Suddenly—bam—a riot of colors on a hilltop. Red towers, lemon-yellow arches, and tiles that look like they were painted by a very whimsical architect (which, in fact, they were). Inside (if included with your ticket), it’s a royal time capsule, and outside, the gardens are pure magic. Lakes, grottoes, and secret lookouts waiting to be stumbled upon.

Snack attack in Sintra

Free time to wander cobbled lanes and do what every local insists. Eat a pastry. Will you choose the flaky almond pillow called Travesseiro, or the creamy Queijada tart? Here’s a tip. Choose both. Diets don’t count on holiday.

Moorish Castle (if included)

For those who don’t mind a little uphill challenge, the payoff is cinematic. Clamber along thousand-year-old stone walls with panoramic views of the palace you just left behind, and the ocean winking at you in the distance.

Quinta da Regaleira (if included)

Indiana Jones meets a Portuguese fairy tale. Descend into the spiraling Initiation Well, pop out in underground tunnels, and lose yourself in mossy gardens where every corner feels like a secret society initiation is about to happen.

Cabo da Roca (if included)

Europe ends here, literally. You’re standing on a windswept cliff at the continent’s westernmost point, hair whipping, waves crashing, and your inner poet composing Instagram captions without even trying.

Cascais (if included)

From royal retreat to modern beach town, Cascais is equal parts elegance and saltwater charm. Stroll the promenade, watch surfers ride mellow waves, or just sit with gelato and pretend you own a yacht.

Estoril

James Bond fans, this one’s for you. Estoril’s casino is said to have inspired Casino Royale, and during WWII the town was crawling with spies. Glamour and gossip come built into the stop.

Nazaré (if included)

Home of the world’s tallest surfable wave. On calm days, it’s all fishing boats and seaside cafés; on stormy days, it’s monster surf and adrenaline. Either way, you get free time to soak it in, preferably with grilled sardines.

Fátima (if included)

Shift gears into serenity at one of Catholicism’s holiest sites. Pilgrims light candles, bells toll gently, and the grand sanctuary seems to hum with quiet reverence. Even non-religious visitors find the calm contagious.

The ride home

After a day of castles, cliffs, beaches, and pastries (lots of pastries), sink into your seat and let Lisbon pull you back in. You’ll return to the city center with tired feet, a full camera roll, and a grin that says: worth it.

How to get to Pena Palace from Lisbon

DIY day-trips

Best for: adventurous travelers who love flexibility, budget savings, and the thrill of piecing the journey together.

Getting there:

Train from Lisbon Rossio (40 min) or Oriente (47 min) to Sintra.
Connect to Bus 434 (17 min uphill to Pena Palace).
Driving is possible (40–45 min), but parking near the palace is scarce and stressful.

Navigation and access: You’ll juggle train tickets, bus queues, and palace entry yourself. Arrive before 9am to beat the crush, especially for Bus 434. A downloadable Sintra map helps keep you on track.

Tour experience: Absolute freedom. Linger in the palace gardens, take pastry breaks in Sintra, or detour to the Moorish Castle. Perfect if you like to wander at your own pace, with no clock-watching.

Curated day-trips

Best for: travelers who want comfort, expert insights, and a day where all the planning is done for them.

Getting there:

AC coach or minivan pickup and drop-off from central Lisbon (40–50 min).
Many tours bundle Pena Palace with extras like Cabo da Roca (Europe’s edge), Cascais, or even Nazaré for surf vibes.

Navigation and access: Everything’s handled from transport, tickets to timing, and even food stops on some tours. Guaranteed entry is common to the Pena Palace or Pena Palace Gardens (based on the ticket you choose), and a guide smooths over every logistical wrinkle.

Tour experience: A storyteller-guide unlocks Pena Palace’s playful architecture, Sintra’s legends, and those hidden garden corners you might miss alone. You’ll soak up the highlights without stressing about logistics. Just sit back, explore, and enjoy.

Things to know before booking your Pena Palace day tour

Pena Palace tickets sell out quickly. Entry is capped daily, and walk-up tickets are almost never available. Always book a tour that includes entry tickets if you want guaranteed access inside.
Not all tours cover entry. Some offer exterior-only views if you don’t select the “with tickets” option. Double-check inclusions before you book.
Tour group size varies. Shared tours may have 20–30 people, while premium minivan options limit groups to 8 for a more personal experience.
Accessibility is limited. Pena Palace is not wheelchair accessible, and expect a fair amount of uphill walking. Wear sturdy shoes and prepare for uneven paths.
Lunch is not included. Instead, you’ll usually get free time in Sintra or Belém to enjoy local specialties like Travesseiros (pillow-shaped pastries) or fresh seafood.
Weather can shape your day. The palace and gardens are exposed, so bring layers, sunblock, or rain gear depending on the season.
Best booking window: 2–4 weeks ahead in peak season (spring–summer, holidays). For shoulder season, 1 week is often enough. Same-week bookings risk missing out on palace entry.
If you’re traveling independently, avoid the 8–9 am commuter rush on trains from Lisbon. Opt for mid-morning departures for a calmer ride and fewer crowds at Sintra station.

Add-ons & nearby stops

Moorish Castle

Rugged 10th-century ramparts straddling the Sintra hills, with views that make Pena Palace look like a toy castle in the distance.

Don’t miss: Visit right after Pena Palace, morning mist often lingers, making the ruined walls look like something from Game of Thrones.

⏱ Approximately 10 to 15 minutes from Pena Palace.

Quinta da Regaleira

A whimsical estate filled with symbolic gardens, mossy towers, and a spiral initiation well that feels straight out of a Dan Brown novel.

Don’t miss: Duck into the hidden tunnel that links the bottom of the well to a grotto by the lake; most visitors walk past it.

⏱ Approximately 10 to 20 minutes from Pena Palace.

Belém Tower

Lisbon’s postcard star, a 16th-century fortress rising from the Tagus River, once the ceremonial gateway for ships sailing to the New World. Its Manueline architecture is all carved ropes, watchtowers, and sea motifs.

Don’t miss: Climb to the rooftop terrace just before sunset, the Tagus glows gold, and you’ll catch sailboats drifting by with the 25 de Abril Bridge in the backdrop.

⏱ Approximately 20 to 30 minutes from Pena Palace.

Visitor tips

Go early morning or late afternoon to dodge tour-bus crowds. On clear days, the palace terraces reward you with sweeping views across Sintra to the Atlantic.
A refillable bottle is a must; water is pricey at the palace café. Layer clothing, as Sintra is up to 5°C cooler than Lisbon, and fog can roll in suddenly.
Be prepared for steep inclines and cobbled paths; the shuttle inside the grounds (extra €3) saves energy on the climb from the park entrance to the palace.
Tripods and drones are prohibited, and indoor rooms are monitored to prevent flash photography.
A DIY trip by Lisbon to Pena Palace train costs about €5 return plus €4–7 for the 434 bus up the hill. A taxi or tuk-tuk from Sintra station runs €10–15.
If you’re wondering how to get to Pena Palace from Lisbon, book train tickets in advance to avoid weekend queues at Rossio Station.
Allow at least 3 hours inside, as the palace interior takes 1 hour, and the surrounding park can take another 1–2 hours if you include lakes, tunnels, and the Chalet.
Pena Palace from Lisbon tours with entry tickets included should be booked 2–4 weeks ahead in summer, as daily entry caps are enforced and tickets sell out fast.
