Take a break from your stay in Lisbon to explore the historic town of Sintra. On this 8 hour private tour you will visit two of Sintra’s iconic monuments (and UNESCO World Heritage Sites), the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira, and stroll through the cobblestone streets of the charming Old Town.
You will be picked up at your hotel at 8:00am to begin your private tour. On the 40 minute drive to Sintra you will learn about the history behind the magic of Sintra. You will enter the Park and Pena Palace grounds with your guide to begin your visit of the grounds before continuing on to a guided tour inside of the hilltop palace.
After completing your tour of the park and palace you will head back down to the center of town. Here you will have some time on your own to explore the narrow cobblestone streets of the Old Town, have lunch, shop for traditional Portuguese products, and stop at the local pastry shops so you can try the delicious queijadas and travesseiros pastries that Sintra is well known for.
After lunch you will drive to the Quinta da Regaleira, the country estate of a wealthy nobleman that is filled with magical buildings, gardens and fountains. Your guide will take you through the property and unravel the secrets and references to the Knights Templar and Masons that are embedded in this mystical estate.
