Day Trip to Sintra & Cascais
Escape the streets of Lisbon for a day as you head just slightly outside of the city to explore some of Portugal's lesser-known seaside towns. Fuel up on snacks made by a royal patissier, then take a leisurely stroll toward the edge of the earth to observe hell’s mouth (also known as Boca do Inferno) before heading back into town for a late lunch of freshly caught seafood. Once you’ve had your fill and your legs have had a break, catch the train back toward Lisbon and decide on the way what the evening in the city has in store.
