Here you’ll find lush hills, valleys, and ancient rock formations — all woven into a rich tapestry of nature and history. Explore its vibrant landscapes and discover why travellers from around the world are captivated by its beauty.

The Sabuga Fountain in Sintra is a natural spring rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium. It is known for its therapeutic properties, beneficial for the skin, muscles, and respiratory system — which explains the historical popularity of baths and treatments at the site. Steeped in local history and tradition, a visit to the fountain also offers insight into Sintra’s cultural heritage.

Welcome to the Moorish Castle, an ancient fortress perched atop the Sintra Mountains. Built during the Moorish occupation, its sturdy walls and towers tell stories of battles and military strategy. From its ramparts, enjoy panoramic views of rolling hills stretching all the way to the sea.
