Sintra Tour with Portuguese Cooking Class

A Unique Culinary Experience in Sintra

Your day begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel as we travel towards the enchanting town of Sintra, renowned for its romantic palaces, lush forests, and timeless charm. One of the highlights of the visit is the magnificent Pena Palace, an extraordinary symbol of 19th-century Romanticism and one of Portugal’s most iconic landmarks. Together with your guide, you will admire the palace from the outside, explore its terraces and viewpoints, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the surrounding hills.

After visiting Pena Palace, we continue to the historic center of Sintra, where you can stroll through its picturesque streets, admire traditional architecture, and experience the atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage town. Here you will also have the opportunity to taste two of Sintra’s most famous traditional sweets — the delicious Travesseiros de Sintra and the classic Queijadas de Sintra.

The experience then becomes truly special as you are welcomed into the home of a local master chef for an authentic hands-on Portuguese cooking class. During this culinary experience, you will learn how to prepare one of Portugal’s most traditional dishes — Cozido à Portuguesa — using fresh ingredients and traditional techniques. Once the meal is ready, sit down and enjoy the dish you helped create, paired with local wine and warm Portuguese hospitality.

To complete this memorable journey, we head to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, where dramatic cliffs overlook the vast Atlantic Ocean. On the way back, we stop in the elegant seaside town of Cascais, perfect for a relaxing walk along its charming streets and marina before returning comfortably to Lisbon.

A perfect combination of history, culture, gastronomy, and breathtaking landscapes, creating a truly unforgettable day in Sintra and along the Portuguese coast.
