After breakfast, take a trip to Sintra, an enchanting town and UNESCO World Heritage Site packed with 19th-century Romanticist architecture, fairytale-like castles, and gorgeous gardens. Stop by the Quinta da Regaleira Gardens and Palace, considered the most intriguing of Sintra’s estates. The palace is a fashion of eccentric neo-gothic architecture and ornately carved pinnacles. Still, the main attraction is the extravagant gardens, which are filled with hidden cave passageways, secret spiral stairs, and a host of mystical symbolism. After the tour, spend some free time exploring Sintra at your leisure. Continue to Cape Roca, one of Europe’s westernmost points, in the afternoon. You may enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean while exploring the village of Cascais, formerly the aristocracy’s preferred beach getaway. Return to Lisbon and spend the rest of the day exploring this cosmopolitan city at your leisure.

Then, head to Nazare, a surfer’s paradise with the world’s largest waves and the most popular beach on the Silver Coast. Finish the day in Fatima, a historic and intriguing city that is a significant pilgrimage place for Catholics. The Capelinha das Apariçes, where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to local children in 1917, the Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, with its golden angels, and the modern church of Igreja da Santssima Trindade are among the sacred sites here. Spend the evening at your leisure, taking in the sights and sounds of this magnificent city.
