Overview

With me, avoid the queues for the tickets.

p r i v a t ----------- t o u r *** S o l o travellers are welcome

This tour will give you a full perspective of Sintra, it's history and the amazing landscape of the Natural Park.
By my experience, this is a unique opportunity to visit all these places, it will not be possible by yourselves.
I'll leave you in all the monuments, wait for you after each visit, take to the next visit and so on.
I don't impose a limit of time for the visit of each monument, it will depend on you.
There's no hurry in this tour, ending time doesn't exist. My goal is that, at the end, you're satisfied.

Palacio Nacional e Jardins de Queluz

This is the first monument to visit, it takes around 1:30h to visit. I'll be waiting for you for the next monument. The National Palace of Queluz, also known as Queluz Royal Palace, is a Portuguese royal residence, in the municipality of Sintra, which was built as such between 1747 and 1760 on the project of the architect Jean-Baptiste Robillon and at the behest of Prince Pietro (Pedro) III (1717-1786) husband of Queen Maria I (1734-1816) who transformed a pre-existing country residence. Called the "Versailles of Portugal", the palace was used above all as a place of entertainment for the royal family: concerts, bullfights and fireworks were held there, especially on the occasion of religious holidays or other events. Queen Maria I lived here for many years, but otherwise the palace was not very frequented by the royal family. It is still used for concerts and as a reception place for foreign heads of state, it also houses the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art.Ticket costs 10eur

Castelo dos Mouros

History shows that from 5,000 BC there was the occupation of this area by the Neolithic communities, thanks to objects that remain to this day which demonstrate this fact. In 1200 BC there was also a village in this place, which left numerous ceramic fragments. In the 8th century, the Muslim conquest of Al-andalus began in the Iberian territory. In the 10th century the castle was founded, administered by the caliphate of Cordoba. In 1147, the Arab domination of the castle ended, thanks to the conquest of Lisbon by D. Afonso Henriques. In 1287, D. Dinis donates the city of Sintra to Queen Santa Isabel. In 1995 the Castle and the Serra de Sintra are classified by UNESCO as a Cultural Landscape - World Heritage. In 2007 the rehabilitation of the Castle begins, already in possession of Parques de Sintra and in 2013 the Castle opens to the public, with reforms and adaptations for visitors.ticket costs 8eur

Quinta da Regaleira

Splendid palace and chapel in romantic style immersed in a park with lakes, caves, wells and fountains. Built by Carvalho Monteiro at the beginning of the century as a private residence, the estate remained in private hands until it was purchased by the local council in 1997With the help of the Italian architect Luigi Manini, he began to transform the villa and the surrounding property into the fascinating place we see today.It is difficult to imagine that a building of this size and pomp was, until recently, a private residence rather than a royal palace.The four-hectare property is just as interesting as the palace. It combines formal gardens with wild woods crossed by paths, decorated bridges, caves, lakes, waterfalls and fountains, all set between giant ferns and American redwood trees.The grounds also house a series of underground tunnels and two large wells that were once supposedly used in esoteric initiation ceremonies.ticket costs 8eur
