Sintra Guided Tours

Sintra Guided Tours operates day-trip and sightseeing experiences connecting Lisbon with the UNESCO World Heritage town of Sintra, a royal retreat set among the wooded hills of the Serra de Sintra some forty kilometres west of the Portuguese capital. The town's extraordinary concentration of palaces, castles, and romantic nineteenth-century estates made it a favourite of European royalty and aristocracy, and its monuments remain among the most visited in Portugal.

Current offerings include a Sintra Bundle combining entry experiences with a Hop-on Hop-off Bus service, as well as a standalone Hop-on Hop-off Bus route linking Sintra's castles and palaces. The hop-on hop-off format suits the town's geography well, as key sites including the Palácio Nacional da Pena, the Castelo dos Mouros, and the Palácio de Monserrate are spread across steep, forested hillsides that make walking between them demanding. The service allows visitors to move between stops at their own pace throughout the day.
