Highlights
This is a one of a kind tour since it's the guides inside view which makes it so special - we are all locals and we have spent our lives here, we know these places inside out and all its history and stories, it's legends and we have a special pride in creating special memories for you to take home! This tour combines two of the most beautiful monuments of Sintra - The Monserrate Palace and the Capuchin Convent, a very special place to our hearts! The convent is one of the oldest places in Sintra and is stunning in its simplicity! On this day, lunch will take place at a local family run restaurant, located on the coast with amazing views!

Itinerary
The Palace of Monserrate and its lush gardens are a place of serenity and beauty, although very different from all the other palaces in Sintra, personally speaking, one of the most beautiful! Have a very interesting history, you will learn of its importance during the Second World War and the part it played in it!
This is a one of a kind! A convent built-in among huge boulders of granite... the uniqueness of this place is without parallel, the monks who used to live here lead a very simple life and it's all reflected in the surrounding area! You will feel immersed in this other world and question why is it possible that people lived like this?? Awesome!

About Sintra
Sintra is a hill town west of Lisbon, wrapped in misty forest and crowned by a Moorish castle, a colourful Romantic palace and mysterious gardens.
Sintra is a UNESCO-listed cultural landscape on the Serra de Sintra, a granite ridge that catches Atlantic mist and keeps the hills green and cool. Portuguese kings and nobles built summer palaces here. The Pena Palace, a painted fantasy of yellow and red towers, sits on the highest hill, while the Moorish Castle's walls climb the ridge nearby, and the old centre has the Sintra National Palace, recognisable by its two conical chimneys.
Top-ranked sights in Sintra: Quinta da Regaleira, Convent of the Capuchos.
