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'!
