Activity itinerary

Sintra Mountains (Pass by)

Pass through the breathtaking Serra de Sintra, also known as the Sintra Mountains, a protected natural landscape near Lisbon known for its green hills, dramatic valleys, ancient rock formations, and unique blend of nature, history, and legend.

Fonte da Sabuga

Hidden near Sintra’s historic centre, the Sabuga Fountain is a quiet 17th-century spot known for its fresh, mineral-rich water and local traditions. Long associated with legends of healing and wellbeing, this peaceful fountain offers a charming pause along the route and a glimpse into Sintra’s cultural heritage.

Castelo dos Mouros (Pass by)

From the mountain road, enjoy a distant view of the Moorish Castle, an ancient fortress whose stone walls stretch across the hills of Sintra. We do not visit the castle or stop at its entrance, but this scenic viewpoint offers a great opportunity to admire its impressive silhouette and understand its historical role in the region.

Park and National Palace of Pena
