Sintra - Sintra, Portugal

Your private day tour will begin with a pick up from your Lisbon hotel or cruise port. The objective of the day will be to show you the national monuments in Sintra, an UNESCO World Heritage Site. As this is a private tour, you will have the freedom to rearrange your tour how you see fit. Below is the standard itinerary for the Full Day tour (the half day options will have necessarily less detail/locations):

When the focus of the trip is to visit the Pena Palace, this will be our very first stop. As tickets and visits are timed, be sure to let us know that you plan to visit this palace so we can design the itinerary and advise you on the time to purchase tickets (bundled tickets have discounts). The Moorish Castle can also be visited in the vicinity of Pena Palace. Afterward, head to the center of Sintra, where you can enjoy free time to enjoy the traditional pastries at a local tea house. You can even pay a short visit to the Village Palace, an 11th century palace, that has been transformed throughout the centuries and is now one of the most emblematic places of Sintra or the Regaleira Palace with its impressive gardens.

On our way back if time allows we can still visit the Queluz National Palace, an 18th century palace inspired by the Versailles palace in France where one of the most beautiful and well maintained french gardens in Portugal can be seen.

On one Full Day in Sintra it's impossible to visit all of the palaces above mentioned. Normally there is time for 4 visits or three visits and extended shopping time. Please inform the driver of your preferences so that all can be arranged to suit your requirements.
