This village is 30 km from Lisbon and, despite its 350,000 inhabitants, maintains its interior characteristics, with a privileged location on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and in the center of the Serra de Sintra hills, neighboring other no less popular locations such as Cascais and Estoril.

The city is home to important national monuments for tourism in Europe, including the gothic National Palace of Sintra, formerly one of the royal palaces and now belonging to the Portuguese State, which uses it for tourist and cultural purposes.

But the most famous of them is the colorful Pena National Palace, one of the main expressions of 19th century architectural romanticism, the first in this style in Europe.
His mix of styles is intentional, since the romantic mentality of the time had an unusual fascination with exoticism.
