Stop At: Park and National Palace of Pena, Estrada da Pena, Sintra 2710-609 Portugal
The fantastic Palácio da Pena is one of the best examples of 19th-century Romantic revivalism in Portugal.
Situated at the top of the Monte da Pena, the palace was built on the site of an old monastery belonging to the Order of St. Jerome. It was the fruit of the imagination of Dom Fernando of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, who married the queen Dona Maria II in 1836. After falling in love with Sintra, he decided to buy the convent and the surrounding land to build a summer palace for the royal family.
The king consort adopted Portuguese architectural and decorative forms for the palace, which he built according to the revivalist taste (neo-Gothic, neo-Manueline, neo-Islamic, neo-Renaissance), and, in the surrounding area, he decided to make a magnificent woodland park in the English style, with a wide variety of exotic tree species.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Centro Historico de Sintra, Sintra 2710-616 Portugal
A beautiful town at the foot of the mountain range of the same name, its unique characteristics have led UNESCO to classify it as a World heritage site. It was even necessary to create a special category for the purpose – that of “cultural landscape” – taking into account its natural riches as well as the historic buildings in the town and mountains. Endowed with luxuriant vegetation, the mountains are part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.
This stop includes a 20 minute carriage ride through the village.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Quinta da Regaleira, Rua Barbosa do Bocage, Sintra 2710-567 Portugal
Very close to the historic centre of Sintra is Quinta Regaleira, one of the town’s most enigmatic sights.
The palace of Quinta da Regaleira was built in the early 20th century by the millionaire António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920), who managed to realise one of his dreams here with the help of the scenographic architect Luigi Manini (1848-1936). Surrounded by lush green vegetation, the Palácio da Regaleira is a fascinating discovery.
The palace was built in a Romantic revivalist style, in an imitation of Gothic, Manueline and Renaissance architectural and decorative forms, mixed with a mythical and esoteric symbolism.
A special mention is reserved for the Capela da Santíssima Trindade (Chapel of the Holy Trinity), where visitors can descend via a spiral staircase into the crypt to discover the monumental initiation well that, at the bottom, leads via a grotto to a surprising lake hidden in the middle of the gardens.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Parque e Palacio de Monserrate, R. Visc. de Monserrate, Sintra 2710-591 Portugal
An hidden gem of Sintra, the tri towered Palace is the most visually striking building of Sintra, an was inspired by Islamic architecture and the ideal of Symmetry.
Duration: 45 minutes

Real great service especially as our plane was late. Our driver Pedro Nunes was so pleasant and kind! He came to the entrance to help with my luggage and during the ride explained about the area and gave recommendations.

Sehr freundlicher zuvorkommender Fahrer. Schnell auf die neue Situation am Flughafen eingestellt. (Neue Corona Regeln am Ankufttag in Kraft getreten, dadurch war das Terminal für Abholer gesperrt). Gerne wieder mit diesem Fahrer.
