The most westerly point in Europe, where land and ocean meet; where it is indispensable to have knowledge and understanding of the history and the way of being of this ancient people: the Portuguese.
An engaging mountain range, superb in its forms, its flora and its fauna, that have delighted generation after generation, from the times when the wise man of old, Ptolemy, called it the Moon Mountain.
A pathway formed by many paths, where one is invited to stroll amongst trees and palaces, discovering the past: Arab remains, Roman and Mediaeval constructions. Sintra is also a living lesson of a very rich history, composed of many stories and many routes: our history and that of many people who visit us now and will visit us in the future. A history full of great literary figures, from Byron to Eça de Querioz, from Al XXX to Ferreira de Castro.
Come to Sintra and experience its magic. Walk along its tracks, submerge yourself in the sparkling ocean waves. Savour a delicious and richly varied gastronomic identity. Recover your energy in its enchanting parks and gardens. Appreciate its quality and the romanticism of our hotels.
Dr. João Soares – Councillor for Tourism, Sintra City Coucil
