• Park and National Palace of Pena - Pena Palace stands as a premier example of 19th-century Romanticism in Europe. Situated as the second-highest point in the Serra de Sintra, over 500 meters above sea level, it captivates with its distinctive architecture and breathtaking views. King Ferdinand II, known as the king-artist, was enchanted by Sintra and, after acquiring the property, chose to construct a unique castle and park featuring 500 plant species from around the globe. The palace blends Manueline and Moorish architectural styles, creating an ambiance reminiscent of “a thousand and one nights.” An unforgettable experience awaits.

• Centro Historico de Sintra - Delight in the charm of this picturesque medieval town by strolling through its narrow streets, soaking in the local atmosphere, and savoring a coffee with the local pastry “Travesseiro.” A visit to the National Palace of Sintra is also recommended, as it was a significant royal residence during the Middle Ages. It served several monarchs until the monarchy’s end in 1910. Visitors can “feel” the presence of the many generations who lived in this remarkable monument, especially during the Age of Discoveries when crucial decisions were made regarding explorations of Africa, Brazil, and the sea route to India. The palace showcases medieval, Gothic, Manueline, Renaissance, and Romantic architectural elements and houses the largest collection of Mudejar tiles in Portugal.

• Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - Construction of the Jeronimos Monastery began in 1501 and spanned nearly a century. It is a remarkable example of Portuguese late Gothic, or Manueline, architecture. As a symbol of the Portuguese discoveries of the 16th century, particularly Vasco da Gama’s arrival in India, it served as a prayer site and departure point for incredible adventures across the Atlantic. Visitors can stop to take photos before continuing to Lisbon.

• Belém Tower - The Belém Tower is a significant symbol of the 15th and 16th-century European discoveries. This impressive Manueline fortification, over 500 years old, served as an embarkation and disembarkation point for Portuguese explorers and as a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon.
