Sintra, Portugal: A Day Trip from Lisbon
My hostel in Lisbon took a day trip to Sintra, Portugal. We spent a full day in Sintra, visiting Quinta da Regaleira, Azenhas Do Mar, Praia da Adraga, and Cabo da Roca, and driving by the iconic Pena Palace (although we didn't get to go in). Even though my solo trip to Lisbon was in early May and Portugal was a bit chilly, our day trip to Sintra was absolutely amazing and Quinta da Regaleira in particular was an incredibly unique experience.
Our Sintra Portugal Tour was operated by the hostel I stayed at GoodMorning Lisbon during my solo trip to Lisbon. I'll be sharing a review video of GoodMorning Lisbon at a later time (although, spoiler alert, this quickly became my favorite hostel in the world after spending four nights there).
You MUST visit Sintra for one day if you're staying in Lisbon, Portugal! If you're looking for things to do in Lisbon, have an extra day or two while on a solo trip to Lisbon, or want things to do in Portugal while you're on holidays, be sure to either book an all-day Sintra tour or rent a car and stop along the points in this video. Our Sintra day trip from Lisbon was one of my favorite memories of my solo trip to Lisbon.
Below are the locations we visited:
Quinta da Regaleira (UNESCO World Heritage site)
Azenhas Do Mar (a seaside town in Portugal)
Praia da Adraga (beach)
Cabo da Roca (Western most point in Europe)
Pena Palace (we weren't able to go in but I've seen some amazing photos of the castle grounds)

EXPLORING PORTUGAL, a walking tour of beautiful and HISTORIC SINTRA ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Sintra, Portugal. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Sintra is a resort town in the foothills of Portugal’s Sintra Mountains, near the capital, Lisbon. A longtime royal sanctuary, its forested terrain is studded with pastel-colored villas and palaces. The Moorish- and Manueline-style Sintra National Palace is distinguished by dramatic twin chimneys and elaborate tilework. The hilltop 19th-century Pena National Palace is known for a whimsical design and sweeping views.
Portugal is a southern European country on the Iberian Peninsula, bordering Spain. Its location on the Atlantic Ocean has influenced many aspects of its culture: salt cod and grilled sardines are national dishes, the Algarve's beaches are a major destination and much of the nation’s architecture dates to the 1500s–1800s, when Portugal had a powerful maritime empire.

A tour of Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal
Quinta da Regaleira is a 20th century residence located in Sintra, and if you don't research or know anything about it, this doesn't sound like something extraordinary or worth a visit, but you should really trust us on this one. If beautiful residence architecture and romantic palaces are not really your cup of tea, fear not, for us the true gem is the garden of the residence. A luxurious park of four hectares that features lakes, grottoes, wells, benches, fountains, and a vast array of exquisite constructions.
The Initiation Wells are two wells on the property that better resemble underground towers lined with stairs. These wells never served as water sources. Instead, they were used for ceremonial purposes that included Tarot initiation rites. The tunnels described above connect these wells to one another, in addition to various caves and other monuments located around the park.

FAIRYTALE TOWN IN EUROPE! - Moors Castle in Sintra Portugal
The Moors Castle can found in the fairytale like town of Sintra Portugal ....and it is just a day trip from Lisbon! The medieval Moors castle sits high in the mountains of Sintra overlooking the entire Sintra valley. Sintra is known for its beautiful palaces that were once apart of Royalty in Portugal and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You have to visit Sintra if you are visiting Lisbon because it is a truly AMAZING place. I really wish I had planned an overnight stay in Sintra to spend more time there.

Sintra - Portugal | World Wanderista
When traveling to Lisbon in Portugal, you should definitely consider a day trip to Sintra. This town is absolute bliss for everyone who adores romantic palaces, castles and gardens. Walking around in this magical place makes you feel as if you’re in a fairytale. I visited three palaces: Palacio da Pena, the Moorish Castle (Castelo dos Mouros) and Quinta da Regaleira. But there are way more to explore (but I advise you to stay longer then) !
I hope this little video can give you the right impression of Sintra. Enjoy!

PORTUGAL: Quinta da Regaleira - estate in Sintra
Quinta da Regaleira is an estate located near the historic center of Sintra, Portugal. It is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO within the Cultural Landscape of Sintra.
Along with the other palaces in the area such as the Quinta do Relógio, Pena, Monserrate and Seteais palaces, it is considered one of the principal tourist attractions of Sintra.
The land that is now Quinta da Regaleira had many owners over the years. Finally it was acquired by the Sintra Town Council in 1997. Extensive restoration efforts were promptly initiated throughout the estate. It finally opened to the public in June 1998 and began hosting cultural events. In August of that same year, the Portuguese Ministry of Culture classified the estate as public interest property.
The property consists of a romantic palace and chapel, and a luxurious park that features lakes, grottoes, wells, benches, fountains, and a vast array of exquisite constructions.
The facade of the palace is characterized by exuberantly Gothic pinnacles, gargoyles, capitals, and an impressive octagonal tower.
The chapel is a Roman Catholic Chapel, and stands in front of the palace's main facade. Its architecture is akin to the palace's.
Much of the four hectares of land in the surrounding estate consists of a densely treed park lined with myriad roads and footpaths. The woods are neatly arranged in the lower parts of the estate, but are left wild and disorganized in the upper parts. Decorative, symbolic, and lively structures can be found throughout the park.
The park also contains an extensive and enigmatic system of tunnels, which have multiple entry points that include: grottoes, the chapel, Waterfall Lake, and Leda's Cave, which lies beneath the Regaleira Tower. The Initiation Well connects to other tunnels via a series of underground walkways.
The Initiation Wells are two wells on the property that better resemble underground towers lined with stairs. These wells never served as water sources. Instead, they were used for ceremonial purposes that included Tarot initiation rites. The tunnels described above connect these wells to one another, in addition to various caves and other monuments located around the park.
Of the two wells, the larger one contains a 27-meter spiral staircase with several small landings. The spacing of these landings, combined with the number of steps in the stairs, are linked to Tarot mysticism. The smaller well contains straight stairs that connect a series of ring-shaped floors to one another. This well is also called the 'Unfinished Well'. A structure similar to these wells can be found in the Pozzo di S. Patrizio in Italy.
Bodies of water can be found in several places in the park. Two artificial lakes and several fountains were added later. One of the most interesting and extravagant among them is the Aquarium, built as if it were naturally embedded in a large boulder. It was once considered the most important naturalist property in Regaleira. However, the Aquarium is no longer used and is poorly maintained.

A Tour Of The Pena Palace, Sintra Near Lisbon, Portugal
Our visit to the beautiful Pena Palace (Palacio da Pena) in the Sintra mountains near Lisbon, Portugal. The 19th palace was built on the ruins of an old monastery by King Ferdinand. It was used as a summer palace for the royal family. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The area is surrounded by a unique woodland and has it’s own micro climate. It has far more rain than Lisbon (we were lucky with the weather and had a beautiful spring day).
It can get very crowded on weekends and holidays so get there early to avoid the crowds, we arrived just before 10am.

Palace in Sintra Portugal - Quinta da Regaleira
This is a look at the UNESCO World Heritage site in Sintra Portugal known as Quinta da Regaleira. The palace has an intricate underground cave system, several wells, a mansion and a chapel. I do recommend this site to explore while visiting Lisbon Portugal. You can take the train for about 45 minutes to Sintra then walk 15 minutes to this palace. I consider it to be an awesome site.
