The National Palace of Sintra and Pena Palace

You’ll visit the unique National Palace of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and discover the vibrant history of the town from your expert tour guide. Explore its beautiful interiors and see some of the oldest and best-preserved tiles in all of Portugal. You will also come across the beautiful red & yellow Pena Palace sitting atop the Sintara hills on your way. Head over to the original town hall and the municipal chambers in Sintra. In the heart of Sintra lies the San Martinho Church which provides a stunning viewpoint for Quinta da Regaleira.

Quinta da Regaleira

Quinta da Regaleira is one of Sintra’s most noteworthy sites with its marvelous neo-gothic architecture. You’ll be charmed by the carefully carved pinnacles & stuccoes of the palace as you discover fascinating stories from your guide. The Regaleira Chapel is a Roman Catholic Chapel outside the castle decorated with stained glass windows and frescoes portraying Teresa of Ávila and Saint Anthony. However, the most enchanting place is the gardens where you’ll come across the commencement wells with twisted staircases leading up to 27m underground. The wells are believed to have been used for cultish ceremonies. Be ready to discover hidden tunnels, waterfalls, green lakes & ornate towers!
