The Sintra National Palace in the old town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
Of all the palaces erected throughout the Middle Ages by the Portuguese monarchs, only that of Sintra has survived to this day practically intact, preserving the essence of its configuration and silhouette since the mid-16th century.

Stone Staircase in Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais

Highlight • Structure

The stone staircase to the Grotto of the Virgin leads you down moss-covered steps into a cool, dimly lit rocky world – a truly mystical spot in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Between damp rock faces, dripping water, and filtered light, the place feels almost mysterious. Make sure you wear good shoes and have a sure footing, especially when it's wet.
