Centro Historico de Sintra

(Pass by)

Começamos no Centro Histórico e seguimos pela Volta do Duche

Sintra National Palace

(Pass by)

Passamos pelo local. O Palácio Nacional de Sintra, também conhecido como Palácio da Vila, foi um dos palácios utilizados pela Família Real Portuguesa praticamente até ao final da Monarquia, em 1910. De implantação urbana, a sua construção iniciou-se no século XV, com traço de autor desconhecido. Apresenta características de arquitetura medieval, gótica, manuelina, renascentista e romântica. É considerado um exemplo de arquitetura orgânica, de conjunto de corpos aparentemente separados, mas que fazem parte de um todo articulado entre si, através de pátios, escadas, corredores e galerias. Possui o maior conjunto de azulejos mudéjares do país. É dominado por duas grandes chaminés geminadas que coroam a cozinha e constituem o "ex-libris" de Sintra.

Palacio e Parque Biester

(Pass by)

Passagem pelo local. A casa Biester está no início da Serra de Sintra, de onde se desfruta um dos mais maravilhosos panoramas de Sintra. Este edifício foi palco do Filme " A Nona Porta" com Jonny Depp.

Castelo dos Mouros

Jardins gratuitos, pode caminhar por cerca de 30 minutos. É opcional. Admire a beleza do Castelo dos Mouros. O Castelo dos Mouros é um castelo em ruínas compreendido entre as florestas exuberantes da Serra de Sintra, um ponto privilegiado para admirar a vista que se estende desde Sintra até ao mar. Serpenteando por dois cumes da Serra de Sintra, o Castelo remonta aos primórdios da ocupação peninsular pelos mouros, no século VIII.

Admission Not Included

Park and National Palace of Pena

(Pass by)

Pode optar por visitar ou não. Pode adquirir bilhetes para jardins ou jardins e palácio. Representa uma das melhores expressões do Romantismo do século XIX no mundo. Erguendo-se sobre uma rocha escarpada, é o segundo ponto mais alto da Serra de Sintra. Em 7 de Julho de 2007, foi eleito como uma das sete maravilhas de Portugal, sendo, aliás, o primeiro palácio romântico da Europa, construído cerca de 30 anos antes do carismático Schloss Neuschwanstein, na Baviera. Do Palácio, o visitante avista um manto de arvoredo que ocupa mais de 200 hectares. Este parque tem percursos e passeios lindíssimos, com inúmeras construções de jardins lá existentes. São pontes e grutas, bancos de jardim, pérgulas e fontes. Estufas e viveiros com camélias, rododendros e rosas de cepas invulgares e muito raras. Todo o Parque da Pena é hoje considerado o parque da Europa, detentor do mais rico e invulgar conjunto de espécies arbóreas já inexistentes em muitos outros países e continentes donde são originárias.

Quinta da Regaleira

(Pass by)

Pode optar ou não por visitar. Também designado por Palácio do Monteiro dos Milhões, denominação associada à alcunha do seu antigo proprietário, António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro. O palácio está situado na encosta da serra e a escassa distância do Centro Histórico de Sintra. Carvalho Monteiro, pelo traço do arquiteto italiano Luigi Manini, transforma a quinta de 4 hectares num palácio rodeado de luxuriantes jardins, lagos, grutas e construções enigmáticas, lugares estes que ocultam significados alquímicos, como os evocados pela Maçonaria, Templários e Rosa-cruz. Modela o espaço em traçados mistos, que evocam a arquitetura românica, gótica, renascentista e manuelina. A Quinta da Regaleira é um lugar para se sentir. Não basta contar-lhe a memória, a paisagem, os mistérios. Torna-se necessário conhecê-la, contemplar a cenografia dos jardins e das edificações, admirar o Palácio, verdadeira mansão filosofal de inspiração alquímica, percorrer o parque exótico e sentir a sua espiritualidade.

Parque e Palacio de Monserrate

(Pass by)

Pode optar por visitar. O jardim romântico exuberante e o palácio, construídos por Francis Cook, um milionário inglês, são testemunhos ímpares do espírito eclético de oitocentos. Por entre árvores exóticas, cascatas e lagos, caminhe na descoberta de um parque único. Os jardins receberam espécies vindas de todo o mundo e foram organizados por áreas geográficas. O relvado fronteiro ao Palácio permite o descanso merecido, durante a descoberta de um dos mais ricos jardins botânicos existentes em Portugal.

Cabo da Roca

Roca Paragem para ver as vistas deste lugar mágico. O Cabo da Roca é o ponto mais ocidental de Portugal Continental e da Europa continental.

Azenhas do Mar

Paragem para ver a vila das azenhas. No Fundo do pequeno promontório em que assenta a povoação das Azenhas do Mar, no litoral de Sintra, há uma prainha com rochas que retém a água na maré vaza, formando uma piscina natural. O mar, a prainha e o casario, enquadrados por arribas majestosas, constituem um dos mais belos cenários da costa portuguesa.

Boca do Inferno

Paragem breve para ver as vistas. A Boca do Inferno localiza-se na Costa da Guia, a Oeste da vila de Cascais, em Portugal. O nome "Boca do Inferno" atribuído a este local deve-se à analogia morfológica e ao tremendo e assustador impacto das vagas que aí se fazem sentir.

Cascais

Situada junto ao mar e tradicionalmente uma aldeia piscatória, Cascais teve um importante desenvolvimento no séc. XIV, quando era porto de escala de grande movimento para os navios que se dirigiam a Lisboa. Passagem pelo Guincho, Marina de Cascais e centro histórico.

Arrived in Sintrtra this morning and walked into this Sintra tourist welcome centre, I didn't want to book anything but my friend did. So I agreed and we booked the mountains and palaces half day tour. I'm so glad we did, as it was the best experience we've ever had. Our guide was Paulo jahlè Durão and he really looked after us both, he was very helpful with accessing attractions, and recommended one of his local restaurant for our meal. Restaurante Dom Pipas Sintra Which we really enjoyed and would never of found this little gem if it wasn't for Paulo. The food was amazing, even the cappuccino i ordered was extraordinary ive never had a cappuccino like it. All the staff were fantastic and very friendly. After our meal Paulo came back for us and our tour carried on. I think we saw ever part of Sintra thanks to Paulo, he spent the day with us. We would both highly recommend using sintra welcome centre and having Paulo as your guide. He's a fabulous bloke is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Jose was a great tour guide and the whole group from the welcome centre made our trip to sintra seamless and very enjoyable! Would definitely recommend both the waking & tuktuk mountain tour for a day in sintra (allow enough time to see the Castles and palaces - both incredible !). Was a private tour for 4 of us and very well looked after the whole day

We are so glad we took the tuk tuk up to Pena Palace. Don’t think we could have made it walking 😅 However, the tuk tuk was not waiting for us at the station I had noted when I reserved it. One number I called did not work, and they other went to a voicemail. We had to walk into Sintra and stop at a few places asking for directions before finding the welcome center. Thankfully they had my name on the list and I had my confirmation email, and the guy there took us into a tuk tuk at once. We had 6 in our group, and the tuk tuk seemed to struggle up some of the steep hills, but we laughed about being passed on the road, and we made it up! He also picked us up when we called at the end of our tours (make sure you have the phone number and a phone to call), and the ride down was quick and easy. I think next time I would just wait and take a tuk tuk from the train station (there were several outside just waiting), rather than plan ahead. But totally worth the ride!

We had a private tuk tuk tour by Jose and it was amazing. He spent time talking through everything, every site, details and he even came to one of the places with us to do a private tour. He was funny and charming, he made the tour very special for our holiday. Definitely the best option for a tour, I can’t recommend him enough.

Excellent trip to Peña palace up the mountain. Nuno was such a lovely guide. He showed us all the places of interest and expertly told us about the lore of the area. Would 100% take another tuk tuk tour if I travel to Sintra again in the future!

Catia was the best! She was funny, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Worth every penny and would absolutely recommend!

Caroline S

Thank you so much for an amazing experience. Our tour guide David was so knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we saw as much as we could in the short time we had. Sintra is such a beautiful place. We wish that we could have stayed longer! David and the whole team were exceptionally good. I would thoroughly recommend this tour company to anyone.

It was a nice, fun ride! Roger was very informative! We also got a ride back at our convenience with Marta. Rita was very informative and funny on our initial visit to the center! We felt well taken care of!

We had a tour for Sintra (palacio de pena, parque and quinta de regaleira) by car because of the bad weather, with the driver Nuno, lovely person and beautiful experience. Highly raccomended!

What seemed to be a long tour to several palaces and other locations, turned out to be basically a 30 min Tuk-Tuk ride! Surprisingly, "Sintra Welcome Centre" finds this transportation 100EUR worthy... And that was after a discount (the original price is 120EUR). The agency manager presented us with a very impressive map with a vast number of locations and places we were about to visit. The actual tour was just a lift uphill to the palace entrance and a pic up back to the historical centre. Don't fall for this - when there are many other great alternatives such as tourist busses in around 2.5EUR and many Tuk Tuk drivers that are passing along the way. Very disappointing.
