Lisbon Trip Overview
This private tour takes us north along the amazing landscapes of the west coast of Portugal until we arrive at Óbidos. Walking tour with your guide and free time in the village. Free Cherry Liqueur tasting. “Off the beaten path”: we will stop at the odd rock formations at Cabo Carvoeiro, Peniche. Another unique place is the village of Baleal, a peninsula that stretches into the Atlantic. We will stop there for you to explore the place. A fusion of land and ocean. Nature in pure state. Mafra National Palace is one of the largest buildings in Europe. Visit to the church. The words “massive,” “monumental,” “gigantic,” “colossal,” and “vast” fail to describe the scale of Mafra’s Baroque royal palace. Short lunch break for you to taste the old traditional convent sweets.
