Sintra Holidays


europe
Historically the summer retreat of the Portuguese Royal family and with a well-deserved place on the UNESCO World Heritage list, Sintra holidays boast a fairytale landscape of regal manor houses and an imposing Moorish castle.

Just a short drive or train journey from Lisbon, spend a day exploring the grand properties and monuments, wander the opulent interior of the National Palace and marvel at the whimsical design and vibrant colours of the iconic Pena Palace.

Away from the pastel hued town you’ll find yourself in the Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais, a vast, lush parkland filled with dense forests, rugged mountains and a wild coastline, ideal for a day of hiking.

Trailfinders offers a range of Sintra holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Sintra on a fly drive holiday, a sociable guided group tour, or are looking for advice on how to combine Sintra with Lisbon or The Algarve – they are the perfect people to ask.
