Book my trip to Sintra
Sintra is like something straight out of a fairy tale. With its opulent palaces, mysterious forests, and exotic gardens, the town is a labyrinth of beauty and history that captures the imagination. The Moors who once ruled this land left their indelible marks in the form of the Moorish Castle that stands as a sentinel over the town. However, it is the 19th-century Romanticism that truly defines Sintra, most notably in the Pena Palace, a fantastical edifice that fuses various architectural styles.
The Sintra-Cascais Natural Park envelops the town, providing endless opportunities for hiking and enjoying nature. The climate here is unique; the hills and forests catch the moisture from the Atlantic, creating a microclimate that allows for a verdant landscape year-round.
Downtown Sintra, meanwhile, is a charming area with narrow streets filled with traditional pastry shops, including those that sell the famed "travesseiros," a puff pastry filled with almond cream. The town has been a muse for many, inspiring the likes of Lord Byron, who described it as a "Glorious Eden" in his writings.
Sintra is not just a town but an experience that brings together the sublime elements of Portuguese history, culture, and natural beauty. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to explore Portugal beyond its cities.
