Overview

(Tickets included)
The pick-up at your hotel or Airbnb.
You will visit the historic center of the picturesque Villa de Sintra where the national palace of Sintra is located, you will have about 40 free minutes in the area of the historic center to discover the Villa and also the opportunity to taste the recognized cheijadas and pillows of Sintra.
Visit the wonderful palace of Monserrate, a masterpiece of Romanticism with lush gardens. This magnificent palace of Monserrate received varied species of trees from the four corners of the world, which were organized by geographical areas, reflecting the various origins of plants and composing scenery along paths, among ruins, corners, lakes and cascades. It is so, especially thanks to the intervention of landscaping artist William Stockdale, botanist William Neville and master gardener James Burt but, above all, the romantic spirit of Francis Cook.
The Meeting is at the Hotel or Airbnb with your Guide.
See you soon :)

    Sintra

    The natural landscape of Sintra gives this mythical place a unique beauty. The green of the mountains and the blue of the sea merge, enchanting and inspiring its residents and visitors. The urban agglomeration, which constitutes the so-called Vila Velha, provides, due to its antiquity and heterogeneity, an exciting tour through the human past where one can feel and admire the different eras that governed the flow of history.

    Parque e Palacio de Monserrate

    A retreat for writers, Monserrate attracted countless foreign travelers, mainly English, who extolled its beauty in travel reports and engravings. When Francis Cook, a wealthy 19th-century English industrialist and great art collector, visited the site, he was fascinated. From this passion was born a masterpiece of Romanticism: a visit to the Park and Palace of Monserrate.
