Activity itinerary

Sintra Mountains (Pass by)

Welcome to the Sintra Mountains, a stunning range just a few kilometres from Lisbon. Here you’ll find lush hills, valleys, and ancient rock formations — all woven into a rich tapestry of nature and history. Explore its vibrant landscapes and discover why travellers from around the world are captivated by its beauty.

Fonte da Sabuga

The Sabuga Fountain in Sintra is a natural spring rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium. It is known for its therapeutic properties, beneficial for the skin, muscles, and respiratory system — which explains the historical popularity of baths and treatments at the site. Steeped in local history and tradition, a visit to the fountain also offers insight into Sintra’s cultural heritage.

Castelo dos Mouros (Pass by)

Welcome to the Moorish Castle, an ancient fortress perched atop the Sintra Mountains. Built during the Moorish occupation, its sturdy walls and towers tell stories of battles and military strategy. From its ramparts, enjoy panoramic views of rolling hills stretching all the way to the sea. Please note that this will be only a brief stop — we will not visit the castle’s interior, and entrance tickets are not included.

Park and National Palace of Pena

1h 30m
Admission ticket included

Get ready to visit Sintra’s most iconic landmark — Pena Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site perched atop the mountain. Your experience includes the Essential Ticket, with access to the palace interior and surrounding park. Your guide will accompany the group throughout the visit, sharing historical context and local insights while you explore this extraordinary site.

Centro Historico de Sintra

Next, we’ll explore Sintra’s historic centre on foot, walking through its charming and emblematic streets. This short visit is designed to reveal the atmosphere of the old village before reaching one of its most iconic and unmissable stops. Along the way, you’ll pass traditional shops, local artisan crafts, and some of the most picturesque corners of Sintra’s romantic village.

Sintra National Palace (Pass by)

In the heart of Sintra stands the National Palace of Sintra, instantly recognizable by its two conical chimneys that crown the former royal kitchen. This historic landmark spans the entire Portuguese monarchical era, offering an imposing silhouette on the town’s skyline. Please note that we will only make an exterior stop at the palace — we will not visit the interior, and entrance tickets are not included.

Casa Piriquita

No visit to Sintra is complete without a stop at Piriquita, one of the village’s most iconic pastry shops. During this dedicated 15-minute stop, you’ll have the opportunity to taste Sintra’s traditional sweets, including the famous travesseiro and queijada. Please note that food and drinks are not included and are paid separately by each guest.
