- Centro Historico de Sintra - In the heart of Sintra, visitors can explore the charming village, admire the National Palace, or take a scenic walk to the enchanting Quinta da Regaleira (tickets not included). Alternatively, they can immerse themselves in the magic of this medieval town — stroll through its narrow streets, soak in the local atmosphere, and savor a coffee paired with the famous “Travesseiro” or “Queijada,” two must-try traditional pastries.
- Quinta da Regaleira - Quinta da Regaleira is one of Sintra’s most mysterious and enchanting landmarks. This extravagant estate, built in the early 20th century by António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, blends Gothic, Renaissance, and Manueline influences. Surrounded by lush gardens filled with hidden tunnels, mystical symbols, and secret passageways, it feels like a journey into a fantasy world. One of its most famous features is the Initiation Well, a spiraling underground tower believed to be linked to Masonic rituals. (Self-guided, ticket not included)
- Sintra National Palace - The Sintra National Palace is one of the most significant royal palaces from the 12th century. Originally built by the Moors, it was later expanded and transformed by successive Portuguese monarchs. During the 15th and 16th centuries, it played a key role as a political center during the Age of Discoveries. The palace is also home to Portugal’s most remarkable collection of Moorish ceramic tiles (azulejos), making it a true architectural and historical treasure. (Self-guided, ticket not included)
- Colares - Colares wine is one of Portugal’s most unique and rarest wines, produced in sandy soils near Sintra.

As one of the oldest Demarcated Wine Regions in Portugal, it’s a true hidden gem for wine lovers.
- Cabo da Roca - Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point of mainland Europe, where steep cliffs meet the endless Atlantic Ocean. A quick stop here offers stunning views and a perfect photo opportunity.
