Full description
Lord Byron called Sintra the “Garden of Eden” and others have named it the “Most beautiful village in the world.” Discover why on this 8-hour sightseeing tour around its paradisiacal streets and gardens. You will feel the magic and mystery that emanates from all the palaces, villas and estates throughout the landscape.
See Pena National Palace (ticket not included) and discover an exotic and eclectic profusion of styles in accordance with the tastes of Romanticism. Pena is something out of a fairytale, located approximately 500 meters above sea level and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the most recognizable monument of Sintra's cultural landscape
From there reach Sintra, whose cultural landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Before exploring its historic center, go to Quinta da Regaleira, one of the most romantic places you’ll ever see. The property has four hectares of land, a palace, lush gardens, lakes, grottoes, and enigmatic constructions — places that hide mysterious meanings evoked by orders such as Freemasonry and the Knights Templar.
You will also go to Cabo da Roca (Cape Roca), the most western point of mainland Europe, passing Guincho Beach. Drive along the Estoril Coast and wander around the village of Cascais.
The Portuguese Riviera has been a place of exile for many European royal and noble families for generations, and on this exquisite tour you will soon see why.
You will have the services of an expert guide who will explain the history of how Sintra came to be, while you wander around romantic and mysterious locations, such as the Quinta da Regaleira with its beautiful gardens, lakes and caves concealing esoteric meanings which dates from the Masonry and Knights Templar orders.
