HISTORICAL LISBON | SINTRA
Sintra is a village in the mountains, its atmosphere so different from everything you will find in Lisbon that is absolutely unskippable. Sintra has lived many lives and it still shows signs of this: you’ll find Arabic and Celtic among its heritages. A place that drew writers, secret societies and mystical types, it was also the first place to be classified as UNESCO’s Cultural Landscape in Europe, a distinction it has held on to the distinction for two decades.
Discover the famous Quinta da Regaleira and all of the magical symbolism engraved in its grounds.
From the Moorish Castle to the Palácio da Vila, there's so much to see amidst all the greenery.
Sintra is a land of hills but walking still is the best way to discover it.
On your way up searching for the Moorish Castle, you'll find the São Pedro de Canaferrim Church. Its age makes the stop worthwhile.
Don't miss the News Museum, an interactive and detailed museum on the history of the Journalism.
