Activity itinerary

Sintra Mountains (Pass by)
Welcome to the stunning Sierra de Sintra – a haven where nature, history and mystery meet. A few minutes from Lisbon, this green-covered mountain range seems like a dream. It is no accident that it enchants travellers from all over the world. The Sintra Mountain is not only beautiful — it has a soul. Between hidden trails, dense forests and cloudy peaks, each corner reveals something unexpected: ancestral rock formations, secret gardens and breathtaking views. Here, nature and history go hand in hand. The sound of the trees blends with ancient legends, and each step invites to discovery. Sintra is not just a place — it’s a feeling. An invitation to slow down, breathe deeply and let yourself be led by the charm that only she has.
Fonte da Sabuga
  • 10m
The Fonte da Sabuga in Sintra is one of those local secrets that says a lot with little — a spot where tradition and well-being come together in a simple drop. Its water, rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium and hydrogen sulfuride, is known for therapeutic properties, especially for respiratory, digestive and skin issues. For centuries, locals and visitors have come here with a silent ritual: filling bottles, drinking from the fountain, and trusting the power of nature. More than a stop to kill the thirst, it’s a symbol of Sintra’s relationship with its land—where even the water tells stories. Despite the benefits, it is always good to follow medical guidance, especially for those with specific health conditions. At Fonte da Sabuga, care begins in the details: a place where tradition, health and nature flow together.
Castelo dos Mouros
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
We start with the imposing Castle of the Moors, a fortification that dates back to the Islamic period and the conquests of D. Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal. Nestled at the top of the mountain, it offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the region — from Lisbon to the sea. On this visit, we will only make a strategic stop to admire the scenery and feel the energy of this historic place. If the weather allows, we explore one of the outer entrances along the wall to get a closer glimpse of its imposition. It’s the kind of place that impresses at first sight — even without going in. A true guard of stone with centuries of stories behind the silence of its stones.
Park and National Palace of Pena
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The highlight of our journey is the extraordinary Palacio da Pena, the highest symbol of Portugal’s romanticism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Set on the top of the Serra de Sintra, this palace looks like a fairy tale — with its vibrant colours, eccentric towers and architectural details that blend Manueline, Gothic, and Mauritian styles. Here, we will make a complete guided tour of the Palace and the Peña Park, led by a local guide who knows not only the history, but also the curiosities and secrets that make this place so special. In the palace, we tour richly decorated rooms, with furniture from the Portuguese royalty in the 19th century. Outside, Parque da Pena is a separate universe: winding paths, hidden lakes, breathtaking views and exotic vegetation that came from all over the world. Prepare to fall in love with architecture, landscape and magical atmosphere. It's more than a visit. It's an experience that stays.
Casa Piriquita
  • 15m
The Piriquite House Pillow is more than a sweets — it is a mandatory ritual in Sintra. With light, crisp leafy pulp on the outside, and a creamy fill of egg and almond on the inside, it also has a secret ingredient that makes it addictive and unforgettable. It is that kind of taste that stays in memory (and in the heart). During the Second World War, in difficult times, Constância Luísa Cunha — the daughter of the founder of the Casa Piriquita — found the recipe in an old book. And so was born the Travesseiro, which today is the ex-libris of the Sintern confectionery and one of the symbols of the village. Here, of course, we will make a mandatory stop to prove this wonder. Because, let's be honest: coming to Sintra and not eating a pillow is like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope. You can't, right? Prepare to taste history, tradition and a touch of magic on each tooth.
Centro Historico de Sintra
  • 45m
In the heart of Sintra — its historic centre, full of charm and soul. Between narrow alleys, colourful facades and shops full of history, this is the perfect place to rush out, absorb the romantic atmosphere of the village and let yourself be surprised at every corner. During this stop, you will have free time to explore, take photos, visit traditional shops or simply enjoy the quiet and picturesque environment of the village. You can also have lunch at a typical Portuguese restaurant, taste authentic dishes from the region, or, if you prefer something lighter, choose a local snack at one of the many cosy cafes in the centre. It’s the ideal start to immerse yourself in the spirit of Sintra – with time to feel, discover and enjoy every detail.
Quinta da Regaleira
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Discover one of the most enigmatic and fascinating places in Sintra: the Quinta da Regaleira. In this place where reality and symbolism cross, we will make a guided tour to explore every detail and dive into the mystical universe that makes it unique. Prepare to descend to the iconic Pozo Iniciático, a spiral of stone that looks like a dream, full of esoteric symbolism and links to masonry and initiatic rituals. We will also walk through tunnels and secret caves, which connect different points of the garden and create an atmosphere of mystery and discovery. The tour continues through the lush gardens of the farm, where every path, statue and fountain was thought to provoke curiosity and charm. More than a visit, it is a sensory and symbolic experience, where each corner keeps a storey, and each step takes us deeper into the magic of Sintra.
Parque e Palacio de Monserrate (Pass by)
We will make a quick pass through the Park of Monserrate, where, even in a short moment, it is impossible not to let yourself be touched by its beauty. Amid exotic trees from all corners of the world, waterfalls and serene lakes, walking around here is like feeling engaged in a romantic mysticism that only Sintra can offer.
Colares (Pass by)
Colares, a charming village on the outskirts of the mystical Serra de Sintra. Here, time seems to go slower. With breathtaking landscapes, centuries-old vineyards and an authentic atmosphere, Colares invites you to a quiet break away from the frenetic rhythm of the city. Known for its unique wine, the Collar Wine, this region has a rare tradition: the vineyards grow in sandy soils near the sea, which gives the wine a distinct and unmistakable character. During our passage, you will learn more about this unique process and of course you will have the opportunity to visit a cellar and taste the local wines — a true taste of the earth. The village itself is a charm: narrow streets on Portuguese pavement, simple but elegant houses, cosy squares and an architecture that preserves the soul of the place. Collars is the kind of place where you breathe authenticity — and where every detail invites you to stay just a little longer.
Cabo da Roca
  • 30m
Discover Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Portugal and of all continental Europe. This is where the earth ends and the sea begins — as the poet Luis de Camões wrote. A dramatic setting of imposing cliffs, open skies and the Atlantic to lose sight. Take advantage of this stop to take unique photos at this "end of Europe", feel the wind on your face and contemplate one of the most impressive views of the whole Portuguese coast. It is a moment of silence, greatness and connection with nature. A simple place, but that stays marked in memory.
