97 Best and Fun Things To Do In Sintra, Portugal

Sintra, a charming town in Portugal nestled in the lush Serra de Sintra hills, is only 15 miles away from Lisbon. The town is renowned for its majestic castles and breathtaking natural landscapes.

One of its most-visited castles, Castelo dos Mouros, was built in medieval times and was an important strategic point during the Reconquista.

Today, the castle is open to the public and boasts beautiful panoramic views of the sea, as well as loads of photo opportunities.

Another must-see is the Palàcio Nacional da Pena – one of Europe’s most beautiful palaces. It has a brightly painted exterior, while its interior demonstrates the style of the Portuguese nobility before they fled the country in the early twentieth-century.

Other historical gems include the gardens at the Quinta da Regaleira, a mansion built in the neo-gothic style; the Palàcio Nacional de Sintra, the original residence of many medieval Portuguese rulers; and Monserrate Palace with its Arabian-inspired architecture and tranquil gardens.

Curious about what else there is to see here? Keep reading for a list of everything all the attractions in Sintra so you don’t miss out on anything it has to offer
