Where
Sintra is known for its exuberant vegetation, interspersed with imposing monuments and romantic gardens, which invite us to step back in time and discover endless shades of green. Discover Sintra and fall in love with this enchanted haven, just a stone’s throw from Lisbon.
At an altitude of 488 metres, the Santuário da Peninha enchants with its magical and impenetrable mystique. A place of worship since ancient times and heir to a long magical-religious tradition, the sanctuary is shrouded in legends handed down by generations of pilgrims. Nature offers us a magnificent landscape.
At the highest point, next to the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Penha, an infinite horizon allows you to see from the Cascais area to Praia das Maçãs.
Meeting point: Santuário da Peninha car park.
