Did you know Lisbon is one of the capitals of street art? The walls of Marvila are an open-air gallery where you can see the work of international graffiti artists celebrating Ibero-American culture. 15 huge pieces of art on buildings situated on the top of a hill, the Tejo in the distance… simply amazing. Even more amazing is to stroll through a neighbourhood that, at every new corner, uncovers a layer of the history of Lisbon: 17th and 18th-century convents and palaces, art deco industrial warehouses and buildings, vilas of factory workers and urban vegetable gardens. All of this at a 20-min drive from the centre, in the eastern part of Lisbon.

You can opt to visit one of the two lesser-known monuments of Sintra: The National Queluz Palace, or the Natural Monserrate Palace. Two of the lesser-known and "forgotten" palaces of Sintra, away from the overcrowded Pena Palace. After seeing the highlights of Sintra we will drive through the National Park of Sintra to the coastline. There we will visit the western-most point of continental Europe, Cabo da Roca, and before returning to Lisbon, we will pass by the coastal village of Cascais.
