Overview

A visit to the Paradise of the Aristocracy in Portugal with its Palaces and Landscapes surrounded by an exuberant flora.

Witness the Portuguese history revealed in Sintra through its exuberant and unique Palaces and Gardens.

Sintra Lisbon’s summer, as described by the English poet Lord Byron in his book ” Glorioso Éden ” (Glorious Eden). Sintra continues to attract great writers and filmmakers, who find inspiration in its beauty, as well as in its legends and fables.

Cascais was once an elegant summer retreat of the Portuguese monarchy during the 19th century, a haven for European royalty during World War II, since Portugal was neutral. Over time, the city has become a refined culture center and an enviable quality of life, especially in the upper middle class.

What To Expect

Park and National Palace of Pena

Pena Palace built in the XIV century in the highest place of the Sintra mountain range in the ruins of a 16th century monastery, represents one of the best expressions of the architectural Romanticism in the world. Lovely paths and beautiful walks, small bridges and caves, garden benches, pergolas and fountains. Small houses where guards and other servants were housed. Greenhouses and nurseries with camellias, rhododendrons and roses of unusual and very rare strains. Sculptures, like the warrior who is seen from the Palace, as if to say that he is there to protect and guard it.

Centro Historico de Sintra

The enchanted village of… Sintra (world heritage by the UNESCO since 1915), strategically located on the mountain that borders the Atlantic ocean, blessed by a unique microclimate, this is a fairytale land with its innumerable one of a kind palaces, encircled by lush vegetation, and stunning panoramic views. Sintra is so unique. And, since our company’s philosophy is that tourism, is more than visiting beautiful monuments, we think that showing you the local customs of the portuguese natives is also important. We will take you during our Tour to the typical pastry shop “Piriquita”, a must place for the locals, to taste the famous“Queijadas” and “Travesseiros”. Sintra a place with a great concentration of historical monuments and interesting tourist attractions, here we will find more than 10 national monuments, including opulent palaces, ancient ruins and decorative palatial houses dispersed by the different hills of the region in very challenging pedestrian paths.Free time for Lunch.

Boca do Inferno

Just before Cascais this is a must stop. Here you will witness the beauty of this incredibly naturally caved crater by the ocean, an interesting cliff formation which someone had given an overly dramatic name of Hell’s Mouth. Here we can easily see the magnificence of this place, with the erosion exerted by the strong action of the rain that, containing dissolved carbon dioxide, causes the carbonate to dissolve and through this process, cavities and caves are formed inside the limestones, with a fall of the upper layers of the cave was destroyed, leaving a large cavity in the open.On days of more agitated sea you can observe the waves crashing through the rocks inside, a cave that combines its natural beauty with the rough sea, a very beautiful place, where you can enjoy a divine landscape and perhaps one of the best sunsets, being only overshadowed by infrequent suicides committed on its dangerous and unprotected cliff.
