- Centro Historico de Sintra - The historic center of the romantic village of Sintra is home to buildings and remnants from various periods and cultural movements. It encompasses a wide range of heritage, including palaces, castles, farms, and parks with different classifications, from municipal heritage to UNESCO World Heritage sites.
- Quinta da Regaleira - In the 19th century, Sintra became one of the first cradles of romantic architecture in Europe. Its unique climate and lush nature attracted those who, inspired by the landscape, enhanced it with stunning architecture in a harmonious blend conducive to the contemplation of beauty and the sublime.
In this picturesque setting, on the outskirts of Sintra’s historic center, lies the Quinta da Regaleira. Designed and built in the late 1800s, it reflects the cultural, philosophical, and scientific interests of its main owner, António Augusto de Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920), and the skill of Italian architect and scenographer Luigi Manini (1848-1936). Their combined creativity resulted in an eclectic-revivalist architectural ensemble, with a particular emphasis on Manueline, Renaissance, Medieval, and Classical styles.

Located in the municipality of Sintra, near Azóia, in the southwest of the Lisbon district, it features a lighthouse that began operation in 1772.
- Guincho Beach - Nestled at the base of the Sintra hills and facing the Atlantic, this magnificent beach is perfect for windsurfing and board surfing due to its large waves.
