Lisbon & Sintra History and Cruise

Overview

Notice a 16th-century fortification UNESCO World Heritage Site, that used to be the point of embarkation and disembarkation for Portuguese explorers and a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon.

It was built during the height of the Portuguese Renaissance and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style, whereas it also incorporates hints of other architectural styles.

Visit one of the most prominent examples of Lisbon's late Portuguese Gothic Manueline style of architecture. Erected in the 16th century, this World Heritage Site became part of Portuguese identity and culture and owed its construction to tax on the profits of the yearly Portuguese India Armadas.

Glimpse a stylized caravel that seems to be setting out to sea, with Henry the Navigator in its prow. Time for a private guided visit to one of the World's most noteworthy collections of horse-drawn carriages, making this a highly recommended stop. It features some imposing horse-drawn vehicles from the 16th century that belonged to Philip II of Spain.

Indulge in an exclusive cruise on a luxury vessel illustrating the magnificent Lisbon Coastline and majestic Tagus River.

Enjoy the panoramic sights of Lisbon, a city that overlooks the River and the Ocean, with a solid connection to the sea, and the only European capital with Atlantic beaches.

Marvel at the glorious monuments along the riverbank that bear testimony to centuries of the glorious history of the Portuguese.

Marvel at a visit to one of Portugal's finest examples of 19th-century Romantic revivalism. It stands out as the renowned jewel in the crown of the Sintra Hills. In its nooks and corners, our gaze gets lost in its charms.  Discover Sintra, an extraordinary town with a surreal mixture of history and fantasy.
