Sintra-Cascais Natural Park

Wooded hills, Atlantic cliffs or Guincho dunes: choose one landscape for the day.

In short

Sintra-Cascais Natural Park reaches from wooded hills to Atlantic cliffs and dunes outside Lisbon. Choose one landscape, such as the Sintra hills, Cabo da Roca or Guincho, then plan its own journey. A shorter route with time to stop is better than treating a large protected landscape as one easy pin.

Why we send people here

Choose a landscape for the day: wooded Sintra hills, the cliffs at Cabo da Roca or the dunes around Guincho. They are different outings, not stops to collect in one quick circuit. Check the route and current access conditions before setting off, and leave exposed cliff edges alone.
