Sintra is one of the most picturesque and impressive towns in Portugal. Situated on a hilltop, Sintra has deep historical roots. Most of the royal families used this hill top as their summer retreat. In the words of Lord Byron, “Sintra is perhaps in every aspect the most delightful place in Europe”. In 1995, it was declared as one of Unesco’s World Heritage sites and it is looking at becoming Portugal’s cultural capital in the near future. Sintra is situated 28kms from Lisbon and can be reached by train in 15 minutes. Famous for its architectural wonders like the Palácio Nacional de Sintra, Palácio Nacional da Pena and Paço Real, Sintra is the new Paradiso in Portugal.
Being so rich in architecture, history and culture, Sintra real estate has seen a rapid growth with more and more properties on sale on this hilltop.
