Operated by OLIVE PREMIUM TOURS · Sintra, Lisbon District

By the time the road tightens and eucalyptus scent slips through the window, the world has changed: stone houses with moss-dark roofs, tree-lined lanes, and the sudden flash of a Romantic palace painted in crimson and ochre. At Pena Palace, terraces open like pages, and the palatial domes sit above a green jumble of gardens — history and landscape sharing the same frame.
