Overview

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.
