About Sintra

Why visit Sintra?

Sintra is one of Portugal's most magical destinations, a UNESCO World Heritage site tucked into the Serra de Sintra hills just outside Lisbon. Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, the Moorish Castle, and the historic village centre make it the classic day-trip route from the capital, and a private transfer makes arrival smoother in a place where crowds, parking, and train queues are common.

I recently had the opportunity to try out Primeways Portugal transfer service, and I can say that it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I booked my transport, until I arrived at my destination in Porto, every detail was carefully planned and executed. The Primeways Portugal team were extremely professional and friendly. When the day of the trip arrived, I was greeted by our driver, Nuno Guedes — punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable about every place we passed. The car was clean, well equipped with water and Wi-Fi. A truly excellent choice!
