Outside visit
Sintra Câmara Municipal
Start your journey just outside the train station, nestled beneath the grandeur of the Sintra Mountains. This remarkable building opens the door to the town’s legendary past—a place where myth and history intertwine. More than a seat of governance, it invites you into the heart of Sintra’s spellbinding legacy, where every stone whispers stories of wonder and ancient charm.
2
Outside visit
Fonte Mourisca
Take a moment to admire the Moorish Fountain, a striking emblem of Sintra’s layered identity. Here, Roman precision meets Arabic artistry, reflecting the town’s transformation into a regal sanctuary and a cradle of Romantic ideals. This isn’t just a fountain—it’s a silent storyteller, capturing centuries of cultural fusion in every carved detail and flowing stream.
3
Outside visit
Sintra National Palace
Step into the splendor of the National Palace of Sintra, where each chamber unfolds a chapter of history—from the playful charm of the Magpie Room to the towering elegance of its famed twin chimneys. Uncover the palace’s secret ties to the ancient Moorish Castle, rumored passageways, and the mystical Mountain of the Moon. And no visit is complete without indulging in Sintra’s beloved delicacies: the rich, sweet Queijadas and the airy Travesseiro pastries.
