2.Romantic Sintra Escape – Self-Drive Electric Car Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 202 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $72

You and a companion drive a two-seat Renault Twizy from central Sintra, following an easy route with navigation help and local tips. Spend about six hours choosing between Pena Palace, Moorish Castle, Quinta da Regaleira, Monserrate, and Azenhas do Mar. Victoria may help with setup, directions, and meal suggestions.

“Having the Twizy was the best decision and Victoria was a pleasure! She set us up with directions to each place we wanted to visit as well as recommendations for lunch and dinner. There's already a ton of walking to do at each palace or site and it's a very hilly area. The Twizy enabled us to park close to each site where cars wouldn't fit. And it was just plain fun!! We visited Peña Palace, Quinta de Regaliero, and Monserrat. We did not head to the coast by Twizy as our day was full visiting these 3 sites. Great experience and highly recommend!”

“A wonderful walk around Sintra with an enthusiastic, sweet and knowledgeable guide. Direct train from Lisbon with (cheap) train from Rossio Station. Distance to meeting place about 50 m. Our guide was himself an architect and could therefore enrich our tour with many fine details. Can definitely be recommended.Auto-translated”
