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'!

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.
