“Both times we have been to Lisbon we booked a guide to take us to Sintra, the eastern most point of Europe, a seaside lunch and this time we added a stop in Cascais. We travelled as a family of six with teenage and young adult children on this trip and our children hadn’t been to Sintra before. We saw La Regaleria and the Moorish Castle.

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
