Fall in love with magical Sintra, the lasting symbol of Portugal's Romantic period. Its stunning landscape is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage of Humanity site that is begging for exploration.

Begin your journey in the lush and exotic Pena Park, leading to the extraordinary Pena Palace—a vibrant masterpiece blending architectural styles, rich symbolism, and fascinating details. Once the royal family’s summer residence, it offers both history and unforgettable views.

Visit the mystical Quinta da Regaleira and descend into the famous Initiation Well, a spiral staircase steeped in symbolism and mystery.

Enjoy free time for lunch in the village, where you can wander at your own pace and stop by local patisseries to taste Sintra’s beloved sweets.
