Prepare to enter a world of arcane symbols on a tour to the Quinta da Regaleira, a large estate and Gothic mansion on the outskirts of Sintra. After boarding a coach, you will first travel alongside the Atlantic coast and then through the Sintra National Protected Forest, an unforgettable area of natural beauty, en route to the Quinta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally constructed in the early 20th century, the complex was then substantially enlarged and ornamented with a plethora of stone-rendered symbolism by the millionaire António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro. The enigmatic structures within the grounds include an inverted tower, which is actually a deep well whose walls house a galleried spiral staircase that can be walked down – and up again. Also called the Initiation Well, the unusual structure is meant to facilitate a journey of contemplation and rebirth. Moving on, you will then head for the picture-perfect old town of Sintra, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, for some time to explore on your own. The National Palace is certainly one of Sintra’s most iconic landmarks. Your tour then draws to a close with your coach transfer back to your ship.

Please note: the tour is mainly by walking on uneven and sometimes narrow path; it is not suitable for guests with walking difficulties or in a wheelchair. Shooting videos or taking pictures at Quinta da Regaleira is prohibited.
