Aldeia da Mata Pequena became one of my favorite places in Portugal the moment I set foot in the village. This tiny village might be just a dot on the map in the hills near Lisbon, but its character is huge.

The village is composed of one main path where barely fits a car (if one comes, one of the two drivers has to drive back!), and it’s full of cute old Portuguese houses that seem out of a fairytale. You can plan a picnic or stop at the Tasquinha do Gil.

If you are planning to visit this village, but don’t want to rent a car, Agorasim is the best option. We absolutely loved our tour with the Citroen 2CV and Diogo. On top of that, we also stopped in Mafra and Ericeira.

Would you visit a tiny village like this for a quiet afternoon escape?

Mafra is an easy day trip from Lisbon and is worth adding to your Portugal itinerary. The town itself is small, with quiet streets, local bakeries, and cafés known for traditional Mafra bread. Its main landmark, however, defines the visit.

The Palácio Nacional de Mafra is a monumental Baroque complex that combines a royal palace, a convent, and a basilica within a single building. It is one of the largest and most significant historic monuments in Portugal.

The true gem inside is the palace library. With its long marble floors and ornate wooden bookshelves, it is considered one of the most beautiful historic libraries in Europe.

For nature lovers, the nearby Tapada Nacional de Mafra offers forest trails, wildlife, and peaceful walks just minutes from town. Perfect to combine culture and nature in one day.

Would you pair Mafra with Sintra, or give it a full day on its own?

Cascais

Cascais is one of the most popular places to visit in Portugal, and it’s easy to see why. Located less than an hour from Lisbon by direct train, this coastal town combines Atlantic views, elegant architecture, and a relaxed seaside atmosphere.

The historic center is compact and walkable, filled with tiled facades, small squares, and traditional cafés. You’ll find oceanfront villas like Palacete Seixas, scenic viewpoints near Praia da Rainha, and landmarks such as the Church of Nossa Senhora da Misericórdia.

The Citadel of Cascais and the marina area offer a mix of history and waterfront views, while nearby Boca do Inferno shows off the raw power of the Atlantic.

You can spend the day exploring museums like Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães, walking the coastal promenade, relaxing on the beach, or enjoying fresh seafood by the bay. For a quieter break, Parque Marechal Carmona offers green space away from the waterfront crowds.

Would you visit Cascais for the beaches, the history, or the coastal walks?
