Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey and feel the magic of Sintra, from the romantic village to the imposing Cape da Roca, the westernmost point in Europe.

Visit Quinta da Regaleira and explore the exterior of Pena Palace with a local guide—a true storyteller that brings every corner to life with fascinating stories and legends.

Contemplate stunning landscapes, discover iconic monuments and taste the famous local sweets, the Travesseiros and the Queijadas de Sintra. Sintra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: get lost in the gardens, palaces and an atmosphere where history, culture and nature cross.
