Immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of Portugal’s breathtaking coastline and two of its most picturesque ancient towns—Cascais and Sintra. Begin your journey with a scenic drive along a beautiful coastal road bordering the River Tagus, passing through the fashionable resort of Estoril. The resort is said to be the inspiration for Sir Ian Fleming’s first James Bond adventure. Admire beautiful villas along a bay filled with traditional fishing boats when you arrive in Cascais. In the early 20th century Cascais evolved from a small fishing village to a glamorous resort after the Portuguese royal family started spending their summer vacations in the town. Explore the plaza, seaside café terraces, and small shops. Then, you’ll travel to Sintra, the favorite summer residence of the kings of Portugal. Lord Byron and Hans Christian Andersen also immortalized Sintra’s stunning beauty. Enjoy free time to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site town.
