Sintra to Cascais and Azenhas do Mar: Private, guided tour

Take a guided tour of Cascais, a vibrant coastal town, known for its beaches and scenic cliffs. Head west to enjoy a coastal escape in Cascais with a knowledgeable guide. Enjoy the relaxed vibe, incredible beaches, and coastal biking and walking paths. Or, head into the charming old town to explore cobblestone streets, artisan shops, and indulgent local seafood restaurants. Visitors to Cascais should see the town’s iconic marina as well as the Praia da Rainha (“Queen’s Beach”) and Boca do Inferno (“Hell’s Mouth”), an unforgettable sea cave featuring a towering stone archway. Cascais is the best place to enjoy a coastal sunset and a dinner of succulent, fresh-caught robalo grelhado.

Find seemingly endless, picture-perfect views at Azenhas do Mar, a cliffside wonder above turquoise waters. Clinging to cliffs above the Atlantic, Azenhas do Mar feels like a postcard brought to life. Begin at the miradouro, where whitewashed homes tumble toward a turquoise natural pool below. Wander the village’s quiet, bougainvillea-lined lanes, catching glimpses of tiled steps and sea-salted air. Snap photos at the tidal pool or simply sit and breathe in the breeze. If time allows, enjoy fresh grilled sea bass or Azeitao cheese with olive oil at a cliffside restaurant. With just a few streets and endless views, this is Portugal at its most poetic—compact, sun-warmed, and unforgettable.
