About this tour

Discover Lisbon & South Portugal this Easter featuring castles, unique rock features, vibrant culture, stunning architecture, beaches & more.

This Easter, join us in visiting Lisbon with its vibrant culture & architecture and combining this with Portuguese capital’s near neighbours, Sintra & Cascais, considered one of the most beautiful cities in the country for good reason. With its curved mountains, dewy forests, exotic gardens and Crayola-coloured palaces, there two cities are torn straight from a storybook.

Lastly Cabo da Roca, which for a while, was considered the end of the world, and you’ll see why, as there’s nothing but water for miles ahead —it’s the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Portugal has a long coast lined with beaches, and in between them, you can find lots of cliffs jutting out into the Atlantic. Breaking waves, rocky shores and windswept cliffs, Cabo da Roca ticks all the boxes.
