Sintra Heritage Expedition: Exploring Cultural Landscapes and Mystical Marvels
- On this tour, you will learn about all the monuments that are part of Sintra's heritage. In 1992, UNESCO expanded the World Heritage categories and added the Cultural Landscape. Sintra was classified as a World Heritage Site under the "Cultural Landscape" category on December 6, 1995, during the 19th Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee held in Berlin.
- The tour starts with a climb up the mountain to see the Moorish Castle, a wall built during the Islamic occupation. Finally, the Royal Palace, the Palácio da Pena, built two different times, served the monks and later to the king of Portugal.
- After that, you will have the opportunity to see one of the most mysterious places in Sintra: Quinta da Regaleira, a place linked to Freemasonry that looks like a fairy castle, a place you can't miss and you will want to discover until the end. In Monserrate Park, visit its palace, which has a mixture of Arab and Indian styles and a botanical garden.
- After a short break to taste our traditional pastry and its history, but don't tell anyone, it's a surprise!
