Highlights
The town of Sintra is the scene of almost all periods of Portuguese history and the scene of a large group of romantic architecture, being framed by a forest with more than 2,000 specimens of plants, which gives the Cultural Landscape of Sintra the classification of World Heritage of UNESCO. Our experience begins with a walk that goes from the Village of Sintra to the path that leads to the Palaces and Castle of Monte da Lua, through the forest, with stops at the main viewpoints of the Village of Sintra. You have four hours free to enjoy a visit inside the Park and Palace of Pena and Palace of Quinta da Regaleira, or replace them with two others that interest you most, with the same duration of up to two hours each We offer the most fun and charming way to get to know the town of Sintra and its main Palaces, with guides knowledgeable about local stories.

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.
