World Heritage Site Castles

The quintessential Sintra experience is getting lost in the vast grounds of hilltop castles like the National Palace of Pena or the Castelo dos Mouros. Don't forget to explore the lush gardens surrounding them.

Pastel De Nata

For a sweet snack, try the 'pastel de nata' from Piriquita, a local bakery that has been around since 1862. These egg custard tarts are a must-try Portuguese delicacy.

Quinta Da Regaleira

This enchanting estate features intricate gardens, grottoes, lakes, and a mesmerizing palace with stunning architecture. Don't miss the initiation well, a spiral staircase that goes 27m down into the ground!
