Day Trips & Tours from Sintra

70 tours · €22–€240 per person · ★ 4.9

Sintra rewards a full day, and the best day tours in Sintra are built around that. The big draws sit on a forested hill: Pena Palace with its painted towers, the ramparts of the Moorish Castle, and the wells and tunnels of Quinta da Regaleira. Roads up the Serra get tight and parking fills fast, so a driver-guide who knows the timing and handles your palace tickets saves you the queues.

When you compare day tours in Sintra, look at how far the route runs. Many pair the town with Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, then drop down to Cascais before heading back to Lisbon. A private full-day tour lets you set the order; a small-group trip keeps cost down. We'd push for itineraries with Pena tickets and hotel pickup, plus free cancellation so weather can't trap you.

70 day tours in Sintra from €22. Private and small-group, full-day with hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.

Planning a trip to Sintra

Best time to visit

Visit Sintra in spring or autumn for comfortable walking weather and thinner crowds. From late morning in summer the palaces and narrow roads get very busy, so start early or take an organised tour that handles timing and transport.

Getting there & around

Sintra is about a 40-minute train ride from Lisbon (Rossio station). The palaces are spread across steep, wooded hills, so most visitors use the local shuttle bus, tuk-tuks or a guided day tour rather than driving the congested lanes.
