Private Tour to Mystical and Exuberant Sintra from Lisbon
Enchanted SINTRA
Sintra bears marks of the Celtic era, the Roman empire, the Arab occupation and the golden age of the kings who chose Sintra as their destination for long seasons. Therefore, we invite you to embark on a trip to the past and come with us on a guided tour of the enchanted world of Sintra.
About the enchanted, lush and mystical SINTRA…
One of the first townships of Portugal, Sintra is connoted as a place full of mystery, magic and mysticism. Classified as a Cultural Landscape - World Heritage by UNESCO, we can say without hesitation that in Portugal there is no place like Sintra. Located at the foot of the Serra de Sintra and covered by woods from the four corners of the world, it has a microclimate. Don't be surprised to find Sintra covered with fog and a climate cooler than in Lisbon, which is only 30 km away.
Departure from Lisbon towards SINTRA, a Portuguese village that enchants everyone with its hills full of Palaces, Castle, and Manor Gardens.
