Sintra Free Tour: History & Magic

We will start the tour in the beautiful town hall of Sintra (10 minutes walk from the center).

There you will get to know the origins of Sintra and the name of the place. It is the first step towards the magical world heritage site with its exquisite palaces and beautiful gardens.

With the Moorish fountain, the famous Queijadas, the National Palace, there is much to see and hear. Histories of secret tunnels, stories of queens and kings, of secret orders and strange millionaires. The impressive view of Moorish castle from the National Palace.

After a brief stop, we head to the oldest hotel in Portugal, Lawrence's, a romantic place of Portuguese literature. The tour will continue at the mystical Quinta da Regaleira. Finally, we will visit the Seteais. If there is no fog (keep your fingers crossed), get ready to enjoy one of the most incredible landscapes of Sintra. For those who stay in Sintra, we have many other options to recommend. Trust us, not to be missed.

Useful information:

Please note that the Castle of the Moors and the Pena Palace are too far away from the center of the villa to be visited. Many guests do visit these sites after the tour.
