A picturesque tramline connects Sintra to Colares & Praia das Maçãs. There are also a number of excellent restaurants along the Guincho beach coastline.

About Sintra: Sintra is a great place. The old town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. Scattered on the hillside there are buildings and sites of historical and architectural interest. The most unusual is possibly Palácio da Pena, a 19th Century folly built by D. Fernando II boasting different styles. Within the old town there are several museums, including the famous Museum do Brinquedo showing toys from the past and present. The most interesting old building is the well-preserved medieval Palacio Nacional do Sintra, in the old town, which is well worth a visit. There are many handicraft and antiques shops. The modern art gallery is new and really good. It has new shows all the time. It is located in the newer part of the town. You can see Sintra by horse-drawn carriages, which will take you around the town as well as Sintra's mountains. Overlooking the town are the ruined ramparts of the Castelo dos Mouros & the Palace of Pena.

Review of apartment in Sintra (121)

5 of 5
Submitted: November 26, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We enjoyed our stay at the apartment very much. There wasn't anybody in the upstairs apartment so although it's very close to the centre of Sintra, it was very quiet. The apartment was well equipped, and very clean, with everything that we needed for our stay. Parking is an issue in Sintra, but we were fortunate to find a space in a free car park although it was a 10-15 minute walk away. Ketan gave us some helpful suggestions for restaurants and going into Lisbon. Sintra is a lovely town, even better in the evenings when the busloads of tourists have gone home. I would recommend this apartment.

Great apartment and management company

5 of 5
Submitted: October 31, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We had difficulties finding an apartment in Sintra for a two week stay but finally found an apartment managed by Done & Dusted. Ketan picked us up from the airport and took us to the apartment. He was very nice and mentioned that this location could be quite noisy. We did not give it much thought but that night the noise was very loud and my wife could not sleep. My wife called Ketan and Sandra in the morning. Despite the fact that we had prepaid for the apartment they indicated that they wanted us to be happy and would see what they could do. They found us a wonderful apartment a few blocks away. It was quiet, sunny and had a great backyard garden and patio. Done and Dusted took what could have been a disastrous vacation and made it a great one!
