Your Itinerary

Park and National Palace of Pena

The thousand-year-old history of the Palace of the Town of Sintra began during the Muslim occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. This Palace is also called Town Palace, because it’s located in the town of Sintra. Anyone visiting Sintra, going up the large curve around the valley known as the “Volta do Duche”, is immediately struck by the clear white outline of the Town Palace which dominates with its two immense cones that corresponded to its colossal chimneys. No one will remain indifferent to the originality and the bizarre character of this rich building, resting in the valley and facing the very small town just ahead.

Admission Not Included

Quinta da Regaleira

This is one of Sintra’s main tourist attractions. This magical village with its extravagant neo-Manueline gardens, dreamed by an Italian opera designer, Luigi Manini, under the orders of the Brazilian tycoon of precious stones and transport, António Carvalho Monteiro, known by Monteiro dos Millões.

Admission Not Included

Parque e Palacio de Monserrate

Monserrate Palace is a beautiful 19th century stately home. This extravagantly decorated palace blends Portuguese, Arabian and Indian architectural styles and is one the most beautiful buildings in Sintra. The palace was commissioned by Francis Cook, an English textile baron, who used the estate as a summer retreat. The grounds of the Monserrate Palace hide specialist and exotic gardens with non-native plants. This palace is the smallest of Sintra’s three palaces but it is by far the most decorative and beautiful one.

Admission Not Included

Tivoli Palácio de Seteais

(Pass by)

Built in the 18th century by the Dutch Gildmeester and rebuilt by the 5th Marquis of Marialva. Currently it is a famous fiver stars hotel unit. The garden and the belvedere are open to the public

We arrived in Sintra looking for a reasonably priced half-day tour of the area. António was available and we were excited with his plans to take us from the train station, to all the palaces (including some we didn’t know about), to the beaches and then to Cabo da Roca, the western most point in Europe. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with António. He was extremely knowledgeable, knew all the best places to go, including a local Portuguese diner for lunch. He always managed to find the best drop-off points, and provided insider information to make the most of our time in Sintra. We sincerely appreciated his expert driving, good humor, patience and caring disposition. Highly recommended.
