Itinerary

No rigid schedules. No crowded buses. Just the two of you, discovering Sintra at your own pace. Why rush when you have the whole day? Drive yourself through Sintra's most iconic landmarks and breathtaking coastal landscapes aboard a fun, compact and fully electric Renault Twizy — designed for two and built for adventure. Begin your journey among Sintra's UNESCO-listed monuments, exploring palaces and castles at your own pace — from the colourful towers of Pena Palace and the ancient walls of the Moorish Castle to the mystical gardens of Quinta da Regaleira and Biester, the elegant Seteais Palace and the romantic Monserrate Palace. Then follow the road west as Sintra's hills give way to the Atlantic, discovering the wild beauty of Praia Grande, Praia das Maças and the iconic clifftop village of Azenhas do Mar. Your Experience Starts Before You Even Get in the Car - Before your tour begins, your host will personally assist you with everything you need to make the most of your day — helping you plan your visits, purchasing entrance tickets in advance and walking you through every step of your route. You'll receive a full briefing on the attractions, what to expect at each stop and everything you need to know about the Twizy — so you can set off with total confidence. Once on the road, our local team is available throughout the day via WhatsApp for real-time support — whether you need directions, restaurant recommendations or any kind of assistance. Your Twizy is also equipped with a live GPS tracker, so our team can follow your journey and reach out proactively if anything seems off route — ensuring you're never truly on your own, even when it feels like it. Linger longer where it feels special. Explore the monuments, pause for a drink, photos or a seaside lunch. Enjoy Sintra without stress. This is not a tour that rushes you through monuments. It's an experience that adapts to you.
