Sintra Full-Day Guided Tour: Pena Palace & Quinta da Regaleira

Welcome to the stunning Serra de Sintra, a beautiful mountain range just a few kilometers from Lisbon. This natural and cultural gem attracts visitors from all over the world. With its green hills, valleys, and ancient rock formations, the Serra de Sintra offers a unique mix of nature and history, making it a truly special place to explore.

The Queijada from Casa do Preto is one of Sintra’s most beloved traditional sweets. With a crispy base and a rich, slightly caramelized filling made from fresh cheese, egg, and sugar, this small pastry has won the hearts of generations.

Casa do Preto, founded in 1931, quickly became famous not only for the quality of its queijadas but also for its welcoming atmosphere and picturesque location at the entrance of Sintra. The name “Casa do Preto” honors the nickname of the founder, a charismatic figure in the village at the time.

Over the years, this house has maintained its reputation as one of the best places to taste Sintra’s most traditional flavors, offering a perfect stop to enjoy a sweet break with a view of the mountains..

Hidden near Sintra’s historic center, the Sabuga Fountain is a quiet and charming spot. Dating back to the 17th century, it’s known for its fresh, mineral-rich water. Local tradition says the water had healing powers, especially for eye problems, and many came to drink or wash their eyes here.

Surrounded by greenery on a peaceful path to the old village, the fountain offers a relaxing break. Whether for its history, legends, or a quick pause, the Sabuga Fountain is a small but special part of Sintra.

Welcome to Castelo dos Mouros, an ancient stronghold perched high in the Serra de Sintra.
