Are looking for a short vacation to refresh after a long working time?
This weekend tour is just for you! Historic and dynamic Portugal will get you the best treats from Lisbon and Troia.
Day 1
Escape Lisbon and go on a full-day, guided journey to some of Portugal’s most popular locations stopping at the iconic Pena Palace in Sintra, the awe-inspiring cliffs of Cabo da Roca, and the ritzy seaside town of Cascais.
Your journey from Lisbon starts at the famous city of Sintra, whose Romanticist architecture, historic estates and villas, and numerous royal palaces and castles have made it a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Enjoy the freedom of choice for some options whether you want an included entry ticket and tour of the colorful Pena Palace, or whether you prefer to gain some extra free time instead.
Arriving early into Sintra means greater chances of avoiding the long lines at its most famous site, if you choose to go with your guide on a comprehensive tour through its lavish interiors and lush gardens. The palace’s faithful restoration and fairy-tale-like appearance will impress you with its beautiful facade and extravagant interior.
Next, head over to the center of Sintra and get 1.5-hours of free time to wander on your own. Your guide will give you recommendations of the city’s must-see locations as well as the best restaurant options for delicious traditional Portuguese dining.
Continue onto Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, and take in the impressive views of the ocean crashing against the high rocky cliffs. If weather permitting, stop at Guincho beach, whose strong winds and high swells have made it a popular surfing destination.
Lastly, arrive in Cascais, an elegant seaside resort town on the Portuguese Riviera. Stroll through the lovely city center and make sure to check out Cascais’ luxury marina, its charming fishing port, and a restored fort that houses many local craftsmen.
After your free exploration time in Cascais, relax back on board your air-conditioned minivan, and admire more breathtaking views of the Portuguese coast as you make your way back to Lisbon.
Day 2
Let us discover the peacefulness of the sea view at Troia beach.
About an hour from Lisbon, in Setúbal, you simply take the ferry across the river Sado to get to the resort of Troia. On this bank, you’ll find one of the most extensive beaches in Portugal, 18km long, which you can claim for yourself. The mild temperatures of its microclimate allow you to spend a few days full of activities, whether it’s summer or winter.
On the golden sands that extend to the horizon, with the clear waters of the sea on one side and the pine forest on the other, you can have fun with the whole family and, weather permitting, even enjoy some water sports. The area is perfect for windsurfing and sailing, as you can tell by the busy Troia Marina.
Another idea is to take a golf vacation. The Troia course, designed by the famous American architect Bobby Jones, is truly integrated into the landscape, and great for the experience of a real golfing challenge. It is on the list of the best golf courses in Europe and is part of some international competitions.
It’s very common to see dolphins at this point where the river Sado meets the sea, and taking a boat ride with time to observe them is always a good idea. Or go bird watching in the Serra da Arrábida Natural Park or the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, where there’s no lack of interesting species. Not far away is Carrasqueira, a very traditional fishing port built on stilts.
Following the road that crosses this spit of sand, you will come to other beaches such as Comporta, Carvalhal, and Pego, where it is very easy to find a lovely restaurant for having fresh fish or tasting the local snacks. But a short walk will provide a change of scenery. After Galé beach, the dunes break up to give way to the Melides lagoon, with its five million-year-old sandstone cliff, and to the Natural Reserves of the Lagoons of Santo André e da Sancha.
Now near Grândola, you will find Badoca Park, a source of entertainment for the whole family, where you can go on a “safari” and see deer, buffaloes, ostriches, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, and other animals roaming free that kids and adults will love, right in the middle of the Alentejo.
After a day in Troia, you might think of the idea of making it your second home. As Troia Resort property is qualified for Golden visa application, a gateway to get Portugal residency in a short period of time and Portuguese citizenship in the future. Please contact us for more details!
