Sintra

Sintra is a picturesque Portuguese town that is set amidst the pine-covered hills of the Serra de Sintra. This hilly and slightly cooler climate enticed the nobility and elite of Portugal, who constructed exquisite palaces, extravagant mansions and decorative gardens.

The variety of fascinating historic buildings and beautiful scenery has established Sintra as a fantastic tourist destination, and has since become the most popular day trip from Lisbon.

Quinta de Regaleira

The Quinta da Regaleira is a decorative 20th century residence that is situated in the town of Sintra. The grand house is split over five floors and has an ornate gothic façade, but the real attraction is to the rear with the enchanting gardens. The gardens of the Quinta da Regaleira were styled to represent ancient secret orders, with hidden tunnels and concealed symbolism.

Park and Palace of Monserrate

It is named after a small hermitage built in the same place by Friar Gaspar Preto in 1540, dedicated to Our Lady of Monserrate. Monserrate Palace seamlessly blends Arabic, gothic and Indian architectural styles to create a wonderful summer house that is surrounded by beautiful gardens.

The Serra de Sintra

The Serra de Sintra is a mountain range of volcanic origin in the South of Portugal and in the west of Lisbon, its capital.

It is formed by granite and syenite rocks from the Cretaceous period. The rocky and irregular coast is sometimes very high in this area of the Atlantic, especially at Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point in the Sintra mountain range and the European continent.
