Detailed itinerary

1

Historic center of Sintra is an ancient and mainly pedestrian village that was founded a thousand years ago. The Greeks called Sintra "Mountain of the Moon" and, even today, it is a real fairytale village. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Here you will have free time for lunch (lunch costs are not included) and to enjoy some famous travesseiros in an old bakery that has existed since 1862 - these are light puff pastries that are turned, rolled and folded seven times and then filled with a delicious cream of egg yolks and almonds and lightly sprinkled with sugar. You can also enjoy Travesseiros de Sintra, the typical sweet of the town of Sintra.
