Step back in time and discover the medieval "Vila Velha" - the historic center of Sintra bounded by charming streets. This town, nestled at the foot of the hills, adapts to the slopes and offers beautiful vistas.

In the Historic Centre, you’ll find the beautiful Sintra National Palace, old villas and romantic narrow streets that criss-cross up the hills. The forests, moss-covered walls and ferns and the fog on the hill add to the mystical mood of this historic town.

Quinta da Regaleira is another magical site located just outside the center - an ensemble of architectural styles, creating a truly unique and unforgettable setting.

For foodies, the old Piriquita bakery offers delicious regional sweets (Travesseiro de Sintra).

We’ll take you to an authentic restaurant, where you’ll be able to try out the amazing variety of Portuguese gastronomy. Experience a great lunch where the savvy locals eat!

The Praia do Guincho is a stunning beach nestled in the wild scenery of the Sintra hills. The powerful Atlantic coastline is famous for its big waves, perfect for summer. This iconic beach starred in the 1969 James Bond movie “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”.

South of Guincho is the “mouth of hell”, a formation on the rocky cliffs of Cascais - where the sea waves crash and it’s noise is funnelled through tunnels in the rocks, creating a devilish sound.
