Sintra is a place where imagination, nature and architectural brilliance blend into a landscape shaped by vision and symbolism. This full day experience invites you to discover some of its most extraordinary landmarks and hidden meanings. 

At Pena Palace, the exterior bursts with colour and fantasy. The surrounding gardens are filled with winding paths, exotic trees and romantic design. Together, they represent one of the most iconic expressions of 19th century architecture in Portugal. 

The journey deepens at Quinta da Regaleira, where towers, grottos and underground passages form a mysterious landscape filled with esoteric symbols. The Initiation Well, spiral staircases and detailed carvings turn this estate into a space that challenges perception and inspires reflection. 

Beyond the hills of Sintra, the cliffs of Cabo da Roca offer dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean, while Cascais invites you to stroll along elegant streets shaped by maritime history and relaxed coastal living. 

Throughout the day, a local guide shares context and stories that give meaning to each place. This tour blends heritage, nature and symbolism into a cultural experience that leaves a lasting impression.
