Sintra is classified as World Heritage, a true treasure for its natural richness, its monuments and an inexplicable magic. This tour focuses on the most emblematic places and all the singularities that make this a unique landscape. This experience with a local guide will be a blessing, with the scenery changing as we take the road from the mountain, stopping at the westernmost point of Europe, continuing along the coast, ending in the center of Cascais. We will pass by the Moorish Castle, Pena Palace, Biester Palace, Sintra National Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Monserrate Palace and you can choose to visit. From lush gardens, lakes, caves and mystical constructions that hide alchemical meanings, such as those evoked by Freemasonry, Templars and Rosicrucians. Unmissable. Cascais will be the second attraction on this tour, a place that was once a fishing village, is now a paradise of beauty and glamor by the Atlantic.

We passed by the place. The National Palace of Sintra, also known as Palácio da Vila, was one of the palaces used by the Portuguese Royal Family practically until the end of the Monarchy, in 1910. With urban implantation, its construction began in the 15th century, with traces of an unknown author. It features features of medieval, Gothic, Manueline, Renaissance and Romantic architecture. It is considered an example of organic architecture, of a set of apparently separate bodies, but which are part of an articulated whole, through patios, stairs, corridors and galleries. It has the largest set of Mudejar tiles in the country. It is dominated by two large twin chimneys that crown the kitchen and constitute the "ex-libris" of Sintra.
Passage through the site. Casa Biester is located at the beginning of the Serra de Sintra, from where you can enjoy one of the most wonderful views of Sintra. This building was the scene of the movie "The Ninth Door" with Jonny Depp.
Free gardens, can walk for about 30 minutes. It's optional. Admire the beauty of Castelo dos Mouros. Castelo dos Mouros is a ruined castle nestled among the lush forests of the Serra de Sintra, a privileged spot to admire the view that stretches from Sintra to the sea. Winding along two peaks of the Serra de Sintra, the Castle dates back to the beginnings of the peninsular occupation by the Moors, in the 8th century.
