Itinerary and highlights
Quinta da Regaleira is an enigmatic 20th-century estate situated near the historic centre of Sintra, celebrated for its striking Neo-Manueline architecture and sprawling, mystical gardens. Designed by Italian architect Luigi Manini for the wealthy owner António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, the estate is renowned for its labyrinthine network of underground tunnels, hidden grottoes, lakes, and esoteric symbolism linked to the Knights Templar and alchemy. Its most famous feature is the Initiation Well, a subterranean spiral staircase leading deep into the earth.
Nestled at the foot of the Sintra Mountains near Lisbon, the charming town of Sintra is a historic UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its fairy-tale atmosphere, cobblestone streets, and romantic 19th-century architecture. Surrounded by lush, forested hills, the town centre features traditional Portuguese pastry shops famous for travesseiros and queijadas alongside historic estates, vibrant gardens, and remarkable landmarks like the National Palace of Sintra with its iconic twin conical chimneys.
