Description

Embark on an extraordinary journey through the enchanting region of Sintra, where history, architecture, and natural beauty converge in perfect harmony. Your adventure begins with a luxurious pick-up from your accommodation or a location of your choice, ensuring a seamless and comfortable start to your day. Our first destination is the majestic Castelo dos Mouros, a historic fortress offering unrivalled panoramic views extending from the verdant hills of Sintra to the boundless Atlantic Ocean. Dating back to the 8th century, this ancient stronghold was constructed during the early Moorish occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. As you stroll along its timeworn stone walls, you will be captivated by sweeping vistas of the Serra de Sintra and the picturesque countryside beyond. The castle's formidable fortifications and breathtaking outlooks evoke a profound sense of antiquity and wonder, immersing you in the echoes of a bygone era. Next, we ascend to the Pena Palace, a masterpiece of 19th-century Romanticism & one of Portugal's most illustrious landmarks. Perched atop a rocky pinnacle, it commands the second-highest point in the Serra de Sintra. This architectural gem seamlessly blends Moorish, Manueline & Gothic influences, creating an opulent visual spectacle. Its vivid hues and intricate embellishments render it one of the most iconic & photographed destinations in the country. From the palace's terraces, marvel at the panoramic tapestry of emerald forests & lush gardens. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 and a National Monument in 1910, Pena Palace is an essential destination for any discerning traveller. Next, we retreat to the heart of Sintra’s charming town centre. Here, you will enjoy a leisurely lunch & ample time to wander through its cobbled streets, discovering quaint boutiques & inviting cafés that exude old-world charm. This delightful interlude allows you to savour the region's culinary delights & absorb the town's romantic ambiance. Our journey continues to the enigmatic Quinta da Regaleira, an exquisite 19th-century estate enveloped by an otherworldly garden. This architectural wonder merges neo-Gothic design with fantastical elements, while its gardens are a labyrinth of hidden grottoes, secret pathways, and serene ornamental lakes. The famed Initiatory Well, a mystical spiral staircase descending into the earth, is steeped in esoteric symbolism and is said to hold ties to the legendary Knights Templar. This captivating estate invites you to lose yourself in its dreamlike landscapes and uncover the secrets concealed within. The grand finale of your tour brings you to the dramatic cliffs of Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe. From this awe-inspiring vantage, behold the endless expanse of the Atlantic Ocean stretching to the horizon. The iconic lighthouse, one of Portugal's oldest, stands as a sentinel at the edge of the continent, offering a poetic and unforgettable conclusion to your journey.
