Classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the “Cultural Landscape of Sintra” celebrates the town’s artistic heritage and fairytale architecture, such as the Pena Palace in the hills of São Pedro de Penaferrim. The National Palace of Pena was built in the Romantic Period on the orders of King Ferdinand the of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, who, after marrying the Portuguese Queen Mary II, fell in love with Sintra and decided to build here a summer palace for the royal family. The palace is totally surrounded by a luxuriant park, filled with a wide variety of trees and exotic plants, also built on the orders of the King.

En route back to the city, drive along the Estoril coast road, linking Cascais with Estoril, and on to Lisbon. Cascais was a former fishing village but it suffered a major renovation when in the 19th century the King choose the town for is summer residence and was immediately copied by the nobility, who built palaces and extremely beautiful villas in the town, completely transforming the appearance of the former fishing village. Nowadays, Cascais is a very lively and cosmopolitan town that still preserves a great deal of its earlier aristocratic atmosphere.
