Private tour of Sintra with visit to Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira Highlights

Sintra, a gem crowned as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995, offers an array of unparalleled historical and natural treasures. As you embark on this journey, two of Sintra’s crown jewels await: the awe-inspiring Palacio da Pena, which stands majestically atop the village’s loftiest point, is a testament to architectural genius, blending Moorish, Renaissance, and Manueline styles with aplomb. Equally captivating is the Quinta da Regaleira, a gothic masterpiece teeming with mystical allure, replete with enigmatic tunnels, subterranean grottoes, and the spellbinding Initiation Well, spiraling deep into the earth.

Yet, the allure of Sintra extends beyond these architectural wonders. Venture further to witness the raw power of nature at the “Boca do Inferno”, a dramatic cliff formation sculpted by the relentless waves of the Atlantic. Not far, the tranquil beaches of “El Guincho” beckon. Its golden sands and crystalline waters gained cinematic fame as a backdrop in a classic James Bond saga. As the ocean breeze brushes your face and the history of centuries whispers in your ear, you’ll comprehend the true essence of Sintra.

With Tour Travel and More as your guide, every step promises a new discovery, every turn a fresh revelation. Prepare to be entranced by the rich tapestry of stories, sights, and sensations that make Sintra a destination like no other.
