Description

On this private full-day tour, discover Sintra, a charming village with lush vegetation where the Portuguese royal family used to live in the summer. We suggest discovering the exotic Parque da Pena where you will find the magnificent Palácio da Pena, a remarkable building with different decorative styles, symbols and intriguing features. Very close to the historic centre of Sintra is Quinta Regaleira, one of the town’s most enigmatic sights. Surrounded by lush green vegetation, the Palácio da Regaleira is a fascinating discovery. A special mention is reserved for the Capela da Santíssima Trindade (Chapel of the Holy Trinity), where visitors can descend via a spiral staircase into the crypt to discover the monumental initiation well that, at the bottom, leads via a grotto to a surprising lake hidden in the middle of the gardens. After visiting the chosen palace or monument, you will have free time to discover the historic center of Sintra. Explore the narrow streets and don't forget to try the famous queijadas and pillows. Special Notes: The regular tickets are included in this tour. Pena Palace has fast track tickets and for that reason, please let us know at the time of booking (special requirements) if you would like the Fast Track or Skip the Line Ticket* with a supplement of 25€ per person (plus 4% transaction fee). This supplement is not refundable. *Availability is limited. Highly recommended purchase Fast Track Tickets in order to avoid the queues. - We´d like to inform you that our company includes Pena Palace regular tickets for the date of your tour for your total convenience. However, any change on the dates, the customer will assume the value of the ticket for the new chosen date. Special notes: Due to the new traffic rules in Sintra and the high season in Pena Palace, our main goal will be providing quality on this half day tour. For this reason, we will visit Pena Palace (3h) and after that, we recommend the visit to Regaleira Gardens (1h) or the historic center (1h). If the client wants to do the 3 stops , our guide should give you less minutes in each place, which in our perspective is not good for our clients.
