We start our tour in the historic center. Between curves and countercurves, walk through the streets of the historic center full of craft shops, pastry shops and typical restaurants.

We will make a brief stop to admire the Moorish inspired Fountain. Built in 1922, with a project by Master José da Fonseca, the Moorish fountain was built with the aim of enhancing the entrance to the village and “dignifying the most appreciated water in Sintra”.

See the Manueline-style Town Hall. The Town Hall building is strategically located between the two neighborhoods of Sintra: Vila Velha and Vila Nova da Estefânia.

Admire the Fountain of Youth. The fountain of Sabuga in the village of Sintra. Osberno (12th-century crusader) said that its waters soothed coughs, Aquilégio (1726) attributes it qualities in curing “bilious diarrhoea”. Currently, users attribute digestive qualities to it. It is a Fountain, urbanized at the end of the 18th century, between the walls of Quinta do Saldanha. Bring water bottle to fill up for free.

La Casa Biester est située au début de la Serra de Sintra, d'où vous pourrez profiter de l'une des plus belles vues de Sintra. Ce bâtiment a servi de décor au film « La Neuvième Porte » avec Jonny Depp.

You can take the opportunity to see a view of the Vale dos Lagos from Parque da Pena.

Admirez la beauté du Castelo dos Mouros. Ce château en ruines est niché au cœur des forêts luxuriantes de la Serra de Sintra, un lieu privilégié pour admirer la vue qui s'étend de Sintra à la mer. Serrant entre deux sommets de la Serra de Sintra, le château remonte aux débuts de l'occupation de la péninsule par les Maures, au VIIIe siècle.

Main entrance to the Pena Palace, where it will be the meeting point for the descent of the mountain. It represents one of the best expressions of 19th century Romanticism in the world. Rising on a steep rock, it is the 2nd highest point in the Serra de Sintra. On July 7, 2007, it was chosen as one of the seven wonders of Portugal, being, in fact, the first romantic palace in Europe, built about 30 years before the charismatic Schloss Neuschwanstei. From the Palace, visitors can see a mantle of trees covering more than 200 hectares. This park has beautiful paths and walks, with numerous garden constructions existing there. There are bridges and caves, garden benches, pergolas and fountains. Greenhouses and nurseries with camellias, rhododendrons and roses of unusual and very rare strains. The entire Parque da Pena is today considered the park in Europe, with the richest and most unusual set of tree species that no longer exist in many other countries and continents where they originate.
