PORTUGAL · SINTRA DAY TRIPS
43 tours
Sintra is forty minutes from Lisbon and hard to do properly without a plan: Pena, Regaleira and the Moorish castle all sell timed tickets and the hill traffic is famous. These 15 day trips are set out with the palaces each one includes, whether Cabo da Roca and Cascais are bolted on, and what the entry fees add.

“Our day exploring Sintra, Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais was nothing short of exceptional, and the experience was truly elevated thanks to our outstanding guide, João. From the very beginning, João demonstrated deep knowledge of Portugal’s history, culture, and hidden stories. Sintra and Pena Palace were absolutely magical, but what made them even more special was João’s ability to bring the history to life with fascinating insights, legends, and context that you simply wouldn’t get on your own.”

“I highly recommend visiting the Castle of the Moors in Sintra. Climbing the ancient walls and walking through the park is an unforgettable experience.

There are currently no shops or cafés on site, but some construction is underway.”
