A variety of delightful historical structures and buildings, combined with unique attractions, have made Sintra a truly fantastic tourist destination. A visit to this magnificent city is the best day trip from Lisbon, and every tourist who comes to rest in Portugal is simply obliged to visit here. This beautiful city really has something to offer tourists of all ages.
Pena National Palace - One of the most beautiful palaces in Europe with brightly colored walls and interior, restored to the way it was in 1910
National Palace of Sintra - a Gothic palace with a rich history and amazingly painted ceilings.
Quinta da Regaleira - Luxurious mansion surrounded by magnificent gardens with hidden tunnels and mysterious religious symbols.
Sintra is not so hot, thanks to the high hills surrounding the city, densely overgrown with trees and shrubs. That is why the Portuguese nobility chose this place for the construction of their summer residences. In the 19th century, Sintra was very popular with the European elite and nobles, who erected luxurious and pompous mansions in the Romanesque style here.
Cascais and Estoril, or the coast north of Lisbon, have become some of Portugal's most famous cosmopolitan and tourist destinations since the end of the 19th century. King Don Luis I chose the local bay as a summer residence. The mild climate and an average of 260 sunny days a year served as one of the strongest arguments for the wealthiest families to build their palaces and mansions here after the royal couple. You should definitely take a walk here and feel the atmosphere of those times.
Throughout the route, amazing landscapes float: the valley of the Tagus River and the famous beaches of Estoril. Along the way, we pass several forts that defended the city from enemies with the help of crossfire, which was also carried out at the same time from Forte do Bugio, located in the heart of the mouth, between Santo Amaro on one side and Trafaria ) with another.
