# Sintra Highlights: Private Tour of Palaces & Coast in Classic 4x4

In our comparison: #6 of 12 in Jeep & 4x4 Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Experience breathtaking panoramic views while discovering the palaces, mountains, and coastline of Sintra on a guided tour aboard a classic Portuguese 4x4.

Begin your adventure in the Sintra Mountains, exploring all the palaces, including Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira, where we’ll stop at stunning viewpoints to share the history behind each landmark.

In the afternoon, we head to the Sintra coastline, visiting hidden beaches and cliffs, including Azenhas do Mar.

Our journey continues to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost of Europe, where you can enjoy panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Sintra coastline before returning to Sintra.

We can finish in the Sintra city center or at a local restaurant, offering from local Portuguese food to fresh seafood, with or without ocean views.

Note: The decision to visit any palace is entirely yours, but it’s recommended to visit just one so we don’t rush anything, as the whole tour is customizable.
