Shore Excursions in Lisbon

Cruise calls in Lisbon are short, so the right shore excursion is the one that gets you back to the ship with time to spare. The strong move from the port is Sintra, where you can pair Pena Palace with the Moorish walls, then drop down to Cascais and Cabo da Roca for the cliffs above the Atlantic. If your call runs long, Lisbon shore excursions also reach north to Óbidos, Nazaré and the Knights Templar castle at Tomar.

When you compare shore excursions in Lisbon, check the timing against your sailing first, then the route. We lean toward a private tour with a driver-guide and pickup right at the cruise terminal, tickets sorted in advance so palace queues don't eat your day. A half-day Sintra and Cascais loop suits a quick turnaround; a full-day itinerary stretches to two palaces or the northern castles. Small-group options keep the cost down if you'd rather share.

56 Lisbon shore excursions from €16. Private and small-group, half- and full-day with port pickup, tickets included and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
