Palaces of the Estoril Coast

The natural wealth and built heritage of the town of Sintra and its surroundings led to this entire landscape being classified as World Heritage. The beautiful village, with its pleasant microclimate, was long the favorite location of various Portuguese kings for their palaces.

And Sintra has museums able to tell the history of the earliest settlers to this region, to show children s toys down the ages or the best in contemporary art.

Just a few kilometres from Sintra, there are two more amazing royal palaces.In Queluz, the summer palace of the royal family and in Mafra, a palace-convent-basilica complex, the largest Portuguese building project of the 18th century.

The seaside town of Cascais was a seaside resort favored by the aristocracy throughout the second half of the 19th century. Palaces and fine residences were built with some now open to visitors as museums.
