Operated by Travelme Portugal · Sintra, Lisbon District
Morning fog lifts off the pine slopes and the van hums west from Lisbon, the city shrinking into tile roofs and a widening Atlantic horizon. By the time you pull into Sintra the air tastes different — cooler, sharp with eucalyptus and salt. The route threads narrow lanes to Pena Palace, which perches high above the town on a rounded crest roughly 500 meters above sea level; its painted facades and Moorish arches feel like a theatrical promise that the land itself has something staged for you.

Sintra grew as a royal and Romantic retreat in the 18th and 19th centuries; its eclectic palaces reflect Moorish, Manueline and Romantic influences and the town is within a protected natural park.
The Sintra‑Cascais Natural Park protects cliffs, dunes and forest; visitors should stick to marked trails, avoid cliff edges, and follow local rules to reduce erosion and disturbance.
