We depart Lisbon to Mafra where we will begin our tour at the Tapada Nacional de Mafra, which is an area of protected natural forest that’s home to wild boar and red deer. Here you will take a train ride through the forest to see all the animals and plants.
After the train ride you’ll have the chance to see a birds of prey show and even interact with eagles and owls if you wish! This is particularly fun for kids!
We then head to João da Vila Velha in Mafra, a very famous restaurant in the area with exceptional and varied dishes. You’ll be able to choose something very delicious from the menu.
After lunch, you’ll go on a guided visit to Mafra National Palace where you’ll be blown away by the wealth and luxury of the monarchy.
This palace is one of the most beautiful and magnificent in Portugal and it was the last residence of the King of Portugal before the establishment of the Republic on Oct 5th 1910.
