Meet your guide in Lisboa city center and travel to romantic Sintra in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan.

Enter its gardens accompanied by your guide and appreciate the exotic trees from all over the world, making this a magical and mysterious place. Head for the Pena Palace, one of the main residences of the Portuguese royal family during the
19th century to be amazed by the intentional mixture of architectural styles and understand why King Fernando II deserved the nickname of “King-Artist”. Enjoy the views from on high to the Moorish Castle, a testimony of the Islamic presence in the Iberian Peninsula, built in the 9th century and conquered by the Portuguese during the formation of the Portugal Kingdom. Immerse yourself by the Cultural Landscape of Sintra classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site before heading down to the picturesque village of Sintra to stroll freely through its charming streets or taste its regional products such as the famous travesseiros and queijadas de Sintra. Continue the tour in an adventurous manner aboard a 4WD Jeep, enjoy the views of the Quinta da Regaleira Palace, Monserrate Palace, and the Capuchos Convent and enter the mountain trails where you will find
gigantic trees and huge blocks of rocks covered by moss that hides legends and secrets. An idyllic setting where our senses are awakened, and mysticism happens.
