Sightseeing

As the parc is located within the Sintra Cascais Natural Park - one of just 13 in the country - you have access to some wonderful scenery. Just a short drive away is the charming town of Cascais, with a bold but beautiful mixture of modern and traditional architecture. The western-most point of Europe, Cabo de Roca is definitely worth a day out, as is Portugal's capital city, Lisbon and can be reached via a bus which stops right outside the entrance and takes you right into the centre. Also worth a visit is Lisbon Zoo as well as the Oceanarium, described as 'a deep-sea diving experience without the risks'!

Days Out

Oceanario Lisbon

Oceanario de Lisbon

Oceanario de Lisbon will also be an unforgettable day out. It has been described as a ‘deep-sea diving experience without the risks’.

Lisbon zoo

Lisbon Zoo

Lisbon Zoo is not your traditional zoo but an important and attractive park where education and amusement are encouraged. Make memories of kissing sea lions, feeling the skin of a snake and or even smelling the hippo's stinky breath.

Lisbon

Lisbon

Gunicho has great access to Portugal’s capital Lisbon, one of the oldest cities in the world. You can hop on a bus at the entrance of the parc which will take you directly to the centre of the wonderful city.

Cabo do Roca

Cabo de Roca

Sintra is well worth a visit - you shouldn’t miss out on a World Heritage Site, the westernmost tip of Europe, Cabo de Roca.  The cliff rises 140 metres about the Atlantic Ocean is adorned with a lighthouse and a tourist shop and there is also a monument at the cape.

Guincho

Cascais

The fashionable resort of Cascais is close by and has a bold but beautiful mix of modern and traditional architecture, excellent fish restaurants and classy boutiques.

Summer in Lisbon is jazz time! On Sundays (and every last Saturday in the month) free open-air jazz concerts take place in the city, with the venue changes every month. Concerts generally start at 5pm, so sit back and relax on the warm summer evenings, to the sounds of some great jazz.
