How to go to Sintra?
Coming to Sintra from Lisbon, the best option is by train. There are buses too but they will take longer.
If you are in the historical center of Lisbon, then it will be straightforward to take a train from Rossio to Sintra. Coming from the airport or the EXPO98 area, you can take a train to Sintra at the Gare do Oriente Intermodal Station.
You should avoid driving by car as the traffic at Sintra can be very stressful and time-consuming.

Some points of interest & Landmarks in Sintra
PALÁCIO DA PENA
It was a dream come true for a king, built on the site of a ruined monastery at the top of a mountain, blending different architectural styles. It resulted in one of Europe’s most spectacular buildings and one of its finest romantic constructions. It’s the highlight of any visit to Sintra, and where you should head to first.
PALÁCIO DE MONSERRATE
It’s not just one of Portugal’s most exotic buildings, it’s one of the finest examples of 19th-century European eclecticism. It’s a romantic palace that belonged to different millionaires, including English novelist William Beckford. Blending several architectural styles, it’s surrounded by a wonderful botanical garden, and its oriental-inspired interior has been carefully restored.
CASTELO DOS MOUROS
Resembling a smaller “Great Wall of China,” this castle takes visitors back 1200 years, to a time when the Moors conquered much of the lands of the Iberian Peninsula. It survived several earthquakes and fires, as well as the reconquest of Sintra by Christian Crusaders in the 12th century. Restored in the 1800s when Pena Palace was built, it’s a romantic sight where everyone goes for the most breathtaking views of Sintra.
QUINTA DA REGALEIRA
Once known as the “Palace of the Millions,” the aristocratic residence of the Regaleira estate was built by an eccentric millionaire who wanted the most exquisite of homes. He ended up creating a mystical place that includes a park with an enigmatic system of tunnels, that has been turned into one of Sintra’s most intriguing and popular attractions.
PALÁCIO BIESTER
Located in the heart of Sintra, Palácio Biester opened to the public in 2022, after restoration work. The various areas of the palace and park offer a privileged view of the Castelo dos Mouros, whilst a few minutes from the lower entrance you can find the mystical Quinta da Regaleira. More than a historical monument, the Biester Palace is a mysterious adventure in a fascinating and (still) little-explored cultural labyrinth.
PRAIA GRANDE
As the name suggests, Grande Beach [Praia Grande] is the largest beach on the Sintra coast, an expanse of white sand that delights holidaymakers. The golden sands, the purity of the Atlantic waters, and the outline of the coast with its rugged cliffs make this Sintra beach a truly enjoyable spot at any time of the year.
PALÁCIO NACIONAL DE SINTRA
One of the few medieval palaces in the world that remains practically intact, this royal residence was once home to Prince Henry the Navigator. It features two gigantic conic chimneys, rising up from a kitchen where banquets (or actual food orgies) were prepared. The interior presents beautifully-painted ceilings and a room almost entirely covered in blue-and-white tile panels.
CABO DA ROCA
This mystical cape marks Europe’s westernmost point. It’s a place of raw beauty and one of Portugal’s most emblematic sights. Before or after a visit to “the edge of Europe,” many head down to the beautiful beach of Ursa nearby (see below), and hikers continue for another 4 kilometers to Praia da Adraga, yet another rather wild and stunning beach.
AZENHAS DO MAR
One of Portugal’s most photographed villages is located just outside Sintra. It’s a picture-postcard Mediterranean-looking cluster of whitewashed houses tumbling down a cliff to the Atlantic, and with a tiny beach. From there, it’s possible to walk north to the wild beach of Aguda and then to the local favorite Praia do Magoito, or south to Praia das Maçãs, the most popular beach in the region.
