If you're visiting Portugal, make sure to visit Sintra. This beautiful village is located just 30 minutes from Lisbon, and it's filled with majestic palaces, fairytale castles, and fascinating mansions. The scenery is amazing, with lush hills and forests, rocky mountain ranges, and dense vegetation. And the beaches—known as the "Monte da Lua" during the Celts period and "Mons Lunae" by the Romans—are simply beautiful. You won't regret visiting Sintra, and you'll be sure to leave inspired.
Sintra is a well-known tourist destination for its beautiful mansions and luxury properties. For centuries, the Portuguese royal family has used these properties as summer homes to enjoy the fresh air and refreshing climate of the mountain. Consequently, Sintra continues to be a popular destination for writers and filmmakers from all over the world, who find inspiration in its beauty and its legends and stories.

Queluz Palace
We will begin our Tour Sintra Cascais and Estoril in Lisbon, where in about 15 minutes we will arrive at the Queluz Palace (optional visit), the palace where the Portuguese Royal family was living when Napoleon troops invaded Portugal, forcing the Portuguese royal family to relocate the capital to Brazil, more specifically Rio de Janeiro, where Dom Pedro IV of Portugal was born and died while simultaneously being Dom Pedro I of Brazil ( first Brazilian King ).
A strong decoration in statuary, therefore obviously inspired by classical and allegorical mythology, connoted the geometric beauty of the boxwood hedges and polychromatic tiles in stone and bronze of many of its statues. Its "rococo" architecture style stands out in its fantastic unequal gardens, which are well concealed by the sequence of terraces and galleries with Tuscan columns and topped by a monumental staircase.
Sintra Village Center
It's time to experience Sintra's historic center with its winding streets and quaint lanes. Numerous Portuguese gift shops may be found in the Sintra old district, as well as the Piriquita bakery, home of the world-famous "Travesseiros," a traditional Sintra pastry.
Here we will find more than 10 national monuments, including opulent palaces, ancient ruins, and decorative luxurious homes dispersed by the different hills of the region in very difficult pedestrian paths. Sintra is a place with a great concentration of historical monuments and interesting tourist attractions.
Sintra Palaces
Your Driver will help you choose which palace to visit from Pena Palace, Monserrate Palace, the Masonic Quinta da Regaleira or if you're interested in something more medieval, perhaps the Moorish Castle. However, since this tour lasts about 8 hours, we recommend visiting no more than two palaces because doing so may interfere with seeing the other locations mentioned here.
Cabo da Roca
Then, our Sintra Tour The most significant Portuguese poet of all time, Luis de Camoes, described Cabo da Roca as "where Earth ends and the Sea begins" in "Os Lusiadas" , the westernmost point of the European continent. Cascais and Estoril will take us through the stunning Sintra mountain range to Cascais by Colares, a must stop.
From the majestic Lighthouse, which was constructed in 1772 and stands 165 meters tall, we can see how significant the Atlantic Ocean is and learn about one of Portugal's most famous locations during the height of the country's maritime growth.
Boca do Inferno
A visit to "Boca do Inferno" is a must so that we can fully appreciate the beauty of the location. As a result of the erosion caused by the powerful action of the rain that contains dissolved carbon dioxide, cavities and caves are created inside of the limestone. When the upper layers of the cave collapsed, a large cavity was left behind.
A very beautiful location, where you can enjoy a divine landscape and possibly one of the best sunsets, is only overshadowed by infrequent suicides committed on its perilous and unprotected cliff on days when the sea is agitated. You can see the waves crashing inside the rocks in a cave that combines its natural beauty with the rough sea.
Cascais
Then, on our Tour Sintra Cascais and Estoril, we will arrive in Cascais. With its stunning bay, it is currently a very nice area to live or even for brief holidays. It is full of tiny fishing boats, and we will have time to explore the hamlet.
The Portuguese royal family picked Cascais, which is close to the Sintra mountain range, as their vacation destination in the nineteenth century, ultimately drawing in the nobility. In the city's historic core, there are several shopping and dining options.
Estoril
Estoril, the site of WWII espionage, where Yan Fleming resided, the renowned author of the books that gave rise to 007, where one may be dazzled by the vast estates as well as the Casino of Estoril (considered the largest in Europe).
Along the shore, we will make our way back to Lisbon.
