Overview

Itinerary

1. Stop 1 · 1h

   If you wish to stop at Pena Palace, you can decide if and how long you want to stay at the stunning gardens of the almost 200 acres of lush exotic gardens and rivers with species from all over the world or also see the palace. If you wish to pass by the fairy-tail palace from the XIX century, designed to be the lush summer home of the portuguese royalty, we facilitate access to the tickets to the inside and outside of the palace! With stunning views over the valley of Sintra-Cascais, you can see all the way until the coast-line (where we'll go next, after the Masonic Well at Regaleira!) At the palace you also have a nice caffe where you can have a bite!

2. Stop 2

   One of the many many palaces, castles and convents we have in Sintra. This one from the XV century, was owned by the portuguese royals before it's nationalization. If you wish we can stop

3. Stop 3 · 20m

   This Mourish Castle is located in the middle of the Sintra foorest!
   We stop there and go when you ready.

4. Stop 4 · 1h

   Having priority at the ticket office, we skip the line directly to the gardens of Regaleira, exotic like the Pena gardens, but with hand-made caves and tinny castles all over the place. Just near the waterfalls we have the Free-Masonic Initiation Well from the XIX century, open to the public at day time. In here you will go down the 9 levels of Dante's Inferno, to find the Templar Cross with the 4 elements (wind, earth, fire, water)
   After the first stage, the participants would have to "wonder through the bottom of hell" until they get to "the light at the end of the tunnel" where they will find the exit and reborn again. Outside and inside you can see many symbols of the free-masonry / templar order, among them many pentagrams said to represent the face of Baphomet

5. Stop 5 · 1h

   Here we taste the good sweets and drinks, made by local friends! Also here we make a pause for lunch at a restaurant of your taste (we have amazing recommendations, ask the guide!) you can stroll around the historical center of Sintra, passing by the insights of the Sintra historical center, you will see the Vila National Palace from the XV century. You also have loads of small shops selling national produts
   We stop there and go when you ready.

6. Stop 6 · 30m

   If you want to see the next palace before the coast line, prepare yourself for a wonderful arabic-styled palace (summer home of Thomas Cook) with all the materials coming from the valley of Sintra. The botanic gardens are an inspiration and the most diverse ones from all of the palaces
