We set off from Lisbon travelling through Bel\u00e9m and Cascais, an elegant summer resort for 19th century Portuguese kings and European royalty. Roll by the rugged coastline, leaving behind the cliffs of Cabo da Roca as we head into the cooler Sintra Mountains. These pine covered hills attracted the nobility and elite of Portugal, who constructed exquisite palaces, extravagant residences and decorative gardens. The variety of fascinating monuments and historic buildings make this a gorgeous, overwhelming and mystical place to discover. And arriving by Beetle, you\u2019ll be the talk of the town. Have fun whilst sightseeing with the full day Beetle tour to Sintra.<\/p>\nCONTACT<\/h1>\n
