Itinerary
Day 1
Private half-day itinerary from Lisbon with hotel pickup. The order of stops follows the activity agenda: Convento dos Capuchos, scenic drive through Sintra Natural Park, picnic at Peninha, then Cabo da Roca. Total operating window is 6 hours; the guide/driver will manage transfers and timing.
Convento dos Capuchos, Colares
Pickup from your Lisbon hotel and private transfer to Convento dos Capuchos for a guided visit of the historic Capuchin convent carved into the rock. Entry to the convent is included.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear sturdy, closed shoes — paths and interior floors are uneven and can be slippery.
- The convent has low doorways and narrow staircases; watch your head and supervise children.
- Respect the site's quiet nature; the guide will point out the best places for photos without disturbing visitors.
Drive through Sintra Natural Park
Scenic driving through the Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais with short viewpoint stops. The driver will follow quiet country roads to show coastal views, dense pine forest and historical estates from the vehicle.
Tips from local experts:
- Have your camera ready; many viewpoints are visible from short pullouts during the drive.
- Roads in the park can be narrow and winding — follow the guide's instructions when stepping out of the vehicle.
- Bring a light layer; microclimates in the park can be cooler than Lisbon, especially in the shade.
Stop at Peninha for a picnic
Short transfer and time for a relaxed picnic at the Peninha area with panoramic views. Picnic is provided — please inform us of any food allergies or dietary restrictions ahead of time.
Tips from local experts:
- Peninha can be windy and exposed; bring a windproof layer and sunglasses.
- Inform the operator of any food allergies or intolerances in advance so the picnic can be prepared accordingly.
- The picnic area has limited seating and uneven terrain — bring a small picnic blanket or request assistance from the guide when needed.
Cabo da Roca, most Western point of Europe
Short drive to Cabo da Roca to walk the cliff-edge viewpoints and take photos at the westernmost point of continental Europe. Time to explore the viewpoint and take in the coastal scenery before returning to Lisbon.
Tips from local experts:
- Stay behind safety barriers and keep a safe distance from the cliff edge; terrain can be unstable.
- Dress in layers — strong coastal winds mean temperatures feel cooler than inland.
- There is limited shelter at the viewpoint; protect cameras and belongings from salt spray and wind.
