Exploring Sintra from Tivoli Sintra

Tivoli Sintra's prime location in the old town means you are perfectly situated to explore Sintra's main attractions on foot or with short, convenient drives. The National Palace of Sintra, with its distinctive twin chimneys, is practically on your doorstep. A slightly longer, but equally rewarding, walk or short drive will take you to Quinta da Regaleira, renowned for its enigmatic initiation well and lush gardens. The iconic Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle are higher up in the hills and are best reached by a short private transfer or local transport, offering spectacular views of the surrounding landscape and coastline.

Beyond the architectural marvels, Sintra offers charming streets filled with local artisan shops and traditional pastry shops. Be sure to try a 'travesseiro' from Casa Piriquita, a sweet puff pastry delight, or a 'queijada', a small cheese tart, both local specialties. While your stay at Tivoli Sintra places you amidst these culinary and cultural treasures, remember that exploring the full breadth of Sintra's offerings, from the dramatic cliffs of Cabo da Roca to the tranquil Monserrate Palace, is made effortless with a pre-arranged private driver at your disposal.
