Join us on our Sintra Tour, a journey where the Portuguese high aristocracy left their legacy in palaces and manor houses. The majestic mountain range extends to the Atlantic Ocean.

Next, explore the National Palace, built in the 14th century. Distinctive conical chimneys and rich history are reflected in the uniquely decorated rooms.

Then, stroll through the ethereal and charming alleys and discover the famous Piriquita pastry shop. Finally, immerse yourself in the allure of a place that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.

The National Palace of Sintra, with its towering conical chimneys, reflects Moorish and Manueline influences in Portugal’s history.

Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the Monserrate Palace, a blend of gothic, Moorish, and Indian influences, set in a lush park. Each palace, each garden, tells a story of Portuguese nobility and artistic expression that continues to inspire awe and admiration today.

For this tour, we highly recommend booking the entrance ticket in Sintra in advance, for the 9:30AM or 10:00AM time slot, (or in alternative for 15:00).

Option A: Pena National Palace

Pena Palace is the ultimate expression of 19th-century Romanticism in Portugal. Perched at the very top of the Sintra Mountains, it stands out for its vivid yellow and red colors and its unique blend of architectural styles (Neo-Gothic, Neo-Manueline, and Neo-Islamic). As the most visited monument in the region, it offers breathtaking panoramic views stretching all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.

Practical tip: Requires a steep walk or a local shuttle transfer from the park entrance. Perfect for travelers seeking the classic postcard view of Sintra.

Option B: Quinta da Regaleira

Built at the turn of the 20th century, Quinta da Regaleira is one of Sintra’s most enigmatic and fascinating properties. The palace is surrounded by lush, mystical gardens filled with secret tunnels, hidden caves, and lakes. The most iconic highlight of the visit is the famous Initiation Well, an inverted subterranean tower with a spiral staircase simulating a journey into the unknown.

Practical tip: This visit focuses heavily on outdoor walking through the estate, making it excellent for guests who prefer nature, mystery, and dynamic exploring.
