The Lisbon and Sintra Region

HISTORY, BEAUTY, AND ENCHANTMENT

Lisbon & Sintra Tours and Trips

Conquered by the Moors in 1147, Lisboa is a legendary city with more than 20 centuries of history. The Tagus River provides a unique light to the city.

In a city shaped by many cultures over time, Lisbon still keeps a village feel in its historic neighborhoods. Get ready to get lost exploring areas like Alfama, Graça, and Chiado, discovering the many miradouros (viewpoints) with wide views over the city. Stroll through the Pombaline streets of Baixa that lead to the Tagus River at Praça do Comércio, then follow the river by road bike or MTB, enjoying a scenic ride towards Belém. Along the way, discover some of Lisbon’s most iconic sites, including the World Heritage monuments such as Padrão dos Descobrimentos and Mosteiro dos Jerónimos.

Sintra is all about palaces, castles, and fairy tales. All in a beautiful town that makes you feel like you have fallen asleep and woken up in a fantasy book. Sintra is a picturesque Portuguese village, located in the center of the hills of the Serra de Sintra. Its slightly cooler climate attracted the nobility and elite of Portugal, who built exquisite palaces, extravagant residences, and decorative gardens here. The variety of fascinating historic buildings and the beautiful landscapes have established Sintra as one of the best tourist destinations, as well as the most popular complementary trip from Lisbon. The historic center of the village, the National Palace, the Castle of the Moors, and the Pena Palace are a must-visit for their enchantment and their unique beauty.
