Exploring the local area

SeaSintra boasts an ideal location for exploring some of Portugal’s true gems, as well as escaping the demands of busy life. Below are just a few of the places we’d recommend visiting during your stay

Sintra

Situated in the foothills of the Sintra mountains, the charming, pastel-colored town of Sintra is just a 15-minute drive from both villas. Visit the park and National Palace of Pena – a glorious fairytale-like palace set against a backdrop of lush forests and mountainous terrain – one of many of the town’s magical cultural sites that are a must-see.

A bustling centre of culture, excellent gastronomy and nightlife attract travellers from far and wide. Hop on one of the city’s many tram’s to explore the cobbled streets, climb up to Castelo de St Jorge to take in the best views of the city, then head to one of the city’s many restaurants to trial fine Portuguese cuisine.

Estoril Coast

If you’d like to combine some city sauntering with sea air, head west of Lisbon for the Estoril coast. A line of beautiful coastline that stretches from the Tagus river estuary out into the Atlantic ocean. Cascais is particularly charming and perfect for soaking up the sun, enjoying some sea food and settling into the relaxed Portuguese pace.
