Rejseplan
Neo-Manuelinsk og romantisk revivalpalads fra slutningen af det 19. århundrede med eklektisk arkitektur og scenografi designet af Luigi Manini, inklusive den berømte indvielsesbrønd, vandfaldet, søer og labyrintiske grotter, der afspejler det unikke perspektiv hos ejeren Augusto Carvalho, en lærd af oldtidssprog, samler af sjældne bøger, hellig kunst og meget mere! Vigtig bemærkning: Kontakt mig venligst på forhånd via Tripadvisor eller WhatsApp: +351 91 595 2276, så jeg kan hjælpe dig med billetterne. PS: Besøget tager cirka 1 time og 30 minutter, men det kan tage længere tid, da dette er det næstmest besøgte monument i Sintra. Vigtig bemærkning: I højsæsonen (fra maj til oktober) kan besøget af dette monument muligvis ikke finde sted på grund af begrænset parkering i nærheden. Hvis du virkelig ønsker denne guidede tur, er det vigtigt at købe billetter mindst 2 uger i forvejen. Køb venligst til klokken 10, 10.30 eller 11.00: https://regaleira.byblueticket.pt/Evento?Hændelses-ID=12766
Tag med mig på en tur til Sintras historiske centrum, kendt som Portugals mest romantiske by, og besøg Nationalpaladset med dets smukke udsigtspunkter, springvand og Sintras eksklusive kager. Benyt lejligheden til at prøve den berømte “Ginginha”! Dette er den del af turen, hvor du har fritid til at slappe af og nyde. Hvis du ønsker at spise frokost, kan jeg anbefale de bedste traditionelle restauranter. Du kan også besøge Sintras Nationalpalads, et palads med over 1.000 års historie.
To utrolige udsigtspunkter ved Oplysningspaladset i Sintra, som nu er et hotel, der tilbyder en klassisk oplevelse. Herfra kan du se Pena-paladset fra et unikt perspektiv!
Palads og engelsk romantisk have designet af James Knowles, bestilt af Francis Cook. Dette palads har den mest eksotiske have i Sintra, designet af William Stockdale. Det siges, at Cook og Claflin-parret var vært for de mest stilfulde fester i deres tid i Sintra. Hvis du sætter pris på planter, inviterer jeg dig til at besøge dette palads. Kontakt mig venligst for at skræddersy din tur!
Storslået palads designet af José Luis Monteiro, med indretning af flere arkitekter, herunder Luigi Manini, med en tragisk og mystisk historie.
Oplev Azenhas do Mar, en malerisk kystlandsby beliggende på Sintras klipper. Med betagende havudsigt, hvidkalkede huse og kaskader af terrasser ligner det et postkort, der er vågnet til live. Slentr gennem de charmerende gader, nyd den lokale gastronomi, og tag fantastiske billeder af Atlanterhavskysten.
Pena Palace, der ofte sammenlignes med et "Disney-palads", er det første palads i romantisk stil i Europa og tilbyder en rejse gennem de fem sanser! Det repræsenterer drømmen for Ferdinand II, kunstnerkongen og romantikkens pioner. Fortryllet af Sintra-bjergenes mikroklima og granitklipper købte han klosteret i 1838 og genopbyggede det som et palads, der fremviser spansk-islamiske, indo-islamiske og manuelinske stilarter. Vigtigt: I højsæsonen er dette besøg ALTID meget overfyldt! Hvis du vil nyde paladset i dit eget tempo, anbefaler jeg kraftigt billetten til haven og terrasserne (12 €), som også giver dig mulighed for at se det gamle kloster. Hvis du vil besøge det indre, bedes du køb din billet kl. 16.4.30 eller 17.00. Vigtigt: Hvis din gruppe gerne vil besøge Quinta da Regaleira og Pena-paladsets indre, vil det ikke være muligt at besøge alle de anførte steder. Du er velkommen til at kontakte mig, så jeg kan tilpasse din tur derefter.
Mur fra det 9. århundrede, bygget af maurerne, der tilbyder en 360-graders udsigt over Sintra, Lissabon, Cascais og Mafra. Besøg São Pedro de Canaferim-kirken (gratis adgang), der nu er et formidlingscenter, der fremviser elementer fra det gamle islamiske kvarter og artefakter opdaget under arkæologiske udgravninger mellem 2009 og 2013, hvilket afslører tilstedeværelsen af neolitisk civilisation fra det 5. årtusinde f.Kr. Bemærk: Hvis du ønsker at besøge muren, varer turen cirka en time. Kontakt mig for at skræddersy din tur.
Besøg Cabo da Roca, Europas vestligste punkt, et beskyttet landskab siden 1995. Beundr de dramatiske klipper, barske klipper og betagende havudsigter. For romerne, der bosatte sig i Sintra indtil det 5. århundrede, var dette grænsen til den kendte verden, hvor landet sluttede, og kun det store Atlanterhav begyndte. Nyd panoramaudsigten, mærk den atlantiske brise, og tag uforglemmelige billeder ved dette ikoniske vartegn i Sintra.
Oplev Cascais, den portugisiske "Riviera", en charmerende kystby, hvor adelsfamilier begyndte at tilbringe deres somre fra anden halvdel af det 19. århundrede.

Our day in Sintra with Sofia was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. We wanted something more personal than a standard tour, and that's exactly what we got. Instead of feeling rushed from one stop to another, Sofia built the day around our interests, making every place feel meaningful. We visited the magical Quinta da Regaleira, explored beautiful hidden spots like the old windmill, enjoyed incredible viewpoints, and experienced parts of Sintra we never would have found on our own. What makes Sofia special isn't just how much she knows—it's the way she tells the stories. History, legends, symbolism, local life, and fun conversations all blend together naturally, so you're never just listening to facts. It feels like spending the day with a knowledgeable local friend who genuinely loves sharing her hometown. She was incredibly flexible, gave us plenty of time to enjoy each place, answered every question we had, and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. We never felt like we were following a script. If you're visiting Sintra, Lisbon or Cascais and want an authentic, personalized experience instead of a crowded tour, Sofia is the person to book. We left feeling like we had truly discovered the real Sintra—and made a new friend along the way. Thank you, Sofia! We hope to come back someday and explore even more with you.
Sofia Pena gives an absolutely breathtaking tour of Sintra and Cascais. She is a Sintra native and knows the people and places like the back of her hand. Sofia customized our tour to fit our interests and abilities. Her knowledge and love of of history, nature, symbolism, culture, and how these interconnect leads to an extraordinarily rich tour experience. Cannot recommend highly enough, and can’t wait to return and see more of this beautiful part of Portugal with Sofia!
Fantastic tour by Sophia. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Loved enthusiasm and historical insight
Our tour with Sofia was fantastic; she is passionate about her job and takes you along for the ride to discover Sintra and all the interesting and beautiful surprises that it delivers. She planned the tour so that we could avoid the crowds and organised lunch at a very secluded peaceful setting. 💯 recommend going on this tour with Sofia, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you so much for your words Dee!! :) I am so glad you enjoyed! Count on me for your nest time in Portugal. All the best for you and Paul:)
Sofia was such a wealth of knowledge. We saw as much of Sintra as we could and also learned so much about the history of the area and of Portugal as a whole. Sofia was very concerned with what we wanted to do and saw to it it happened. She also gave us some time to ourselves, like over lunch (and our lunch spot was also fantastic!). Such a great experience overall.
Hi James, Thank you so much for your words. I am really glad you enjoyed your tour in Sintra:) If you ever come back count on me.
Sofia our tour specialist was beyond just a tour guide. Being born and raised in Sintra, the history and knowledge she shared was incredible! Not only did she make sure we saw all the special monuments and castles on our list she explained their history in detail! She was the Best! Don’t hesitate to book this tour with her she was amazing from start to finish!!
Thank you for your review Tamara, it was a pleasure to be your Guide in Sintra, count on me if you ever wish to come back!:)
Sofia makes you feel comfortable and is personable and flexible - she adjusts the itinerary to your needs, as it is impossible to see it all in one day. In my case, it was Monserrate, Capuchos, Cabo da Roca, and the village by the sea. To me, she is a quintessential Sintran (loves nature, mysticism, talkative) and will give you great advice about local spots.
Hi :) Thank you very much for your review. It was a pleasure to be your Guide. Count on me whenever you need!
Sintra is a very interesting place with much history. We are glad we made the trip. Sofia is a knowledgeable guide and showed us things we wouldn't have seen on our own.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for choosing to explore Sintra with me. I am truly happy to know that you enjoyed the experience, the photos, and the special moments shared throughout the Tour. It was a pleasure to adapt the day to your interests, and I hope to welcome you again in Portugal in the future. Wishing you a wonderful continuation of your trip:)
Sofia was an excellent and knowledgeable guide who went above and beyond to create an individualized and magical experience. We learned so much about the history and also the stories and context behind the facts.
Thank you so much Julie (and Paul) for your words!:) Count on me when ever you need any "tips" or other Tours in Portugal!:) All the best:)
After weeks of researching which of the many tour agencies to go with, we decided on the Sintra tour with Sofia and boy was that one of the best decisions we made during our trip to Portugal for SpringBreak2026. I wanted to avoid the "big box" tour companies and give a local business a chance. Sofia was amazing! She is not just a tour guide. She is a local of Sintra, a historian, an educator, etc.. list goes on. She was able to craft an itinerary for us that maximized the full day we had in Sintra that avoided the crowds at peak times and visiting the little nuances that most people and tours wouldn't even think of visiting. She doesn't only take you to these places but she explains the history about everything you're looking at. If you want to take a nice family picture, have no worries. She'll clear a crowd in seconds for your family to get the perfect memory. Want to cut the long lines at any ticket entrance? Done! It's like she knew the folks at the gate and we were able to cut the lines with our purchased tickets. It was great! After arriving in Lisbon, we hit the ground running the following day with an early start for a day trip to Sintra. We caught the train from Rossio Station in Lisbon to meet up with Sofia and sidekick, Maria as we had another family join us which made exploring everything so much easier. First stop was Pena Palace, where we wandered through the colorful terraces and gardens with some incredible views. From there, we made our way out to Cabo da Roca—the westernmost point of Europe—which felt pretty surreal standing at the edge of it all. We also stopped by the stunning seaside village of Azenhas do Mar, and took a relaxing lunch break at Aldeia da Praia. The afternoon took us to Quinta da Regaleira, which felt like stepping into a real-life fairytale, followed by some time exploring Sintra’s historic center and scenic viewpoints near Seteais Palace. We wrapped up the day in the charming coastal town of Cascais before heading back—completely exhausted but so glad we packed it all in. One of those days where every stop felt different from the last, and definitely a highlight of the trip. Thanks to Sofia and Maria for a special day we will never forget and will gladly reach out to her if we are ever in town. She is always happy to help in any way possible with questions, etc.. she's that type of happy helping person. You will not regret booking a tour with her and everything is flexible in terms of how you want to plan your itinerary with her. She will give you plenty of options depending on what you need to do. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your kind words :) It was truly a pleasure guiding such an engaging and enjoyable group throughout the day!! I’m delighted to hear that you had a positive experience. If you ever return to Portugal, I would be more than happy to welcome you again and show you even more in Sintra , or other regions and wonders that Portugal has to offer. I hope to see you again in the future!:)
