The west side of the Iberian peninsula can be discovered in many ways, but few of them are as rich as having a road trip from Porto to Sintra. What could be better than a comfortable and enriching ride to the smaller, calmer but equally charming (not to mention UNESCO-listed) town of Sintra after making the most of the lively Porto?
Your trip would begin with piercing through the city into the landscapes surrounding Porto and the Douro River. Carrying your port wine as a memento, you’ll be watching vineyards and agricultural fields from your window. The distance between Porto and Sintra is around 206 miles (332 km), and your journey will last only around three hours, if you don’t make stops you’ll take along the way. But why would you miss the opportunity to explore more of Portugal?
You can't just pass by Coimbra, the medieval capital of Portugal. The blend of the former Moorish medina, the Sé Velha, and the Convento de Santa Cruz is a must-see display of Coimbra’s history leading further back than the 8th century. Another great place to stretch your legs is Nazare, a fascinating fishing town set on a cliff with views right out of a fantasy book. Alongside its popular beach, the small town center, the lighthouse, and the high waves will linger in your mind long after your visit.
About Sintra

This climate has nurtured such a green landscape that, combined with the architectural wonders, creates a fairytale ambiance that is unique to Sintra.
Speaking of architectural wonders, the Pena Palace which stands atop a hill in the Sintra Mountains, is a masterpiece of Romanticism. You’ll see such bright colors that are not typical for palaces at all, perfectly combined with ornate stonework. Your coming up here will be rewarded with astonishing views of the surrounding countryside and the Atlantic Ocean.
Just exploring the town of Sintra will be a delight alone to explore. You’ll walk through cobblestone streets, traditional shops, and cafes serving Portuguese delicacies like travesseiros _and _queijadas. Visiting the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, which encloses the town and houses the Pena Palace, means hiking trails, picnic spots, and a feast for the eyes.
From Porto to Sintra: travel tips
Traveling from Porto to Sintra can be as smooth, fun, and comfortable as possible if you take a look at some of our travel tips!
If you are driving…
Get a Via Verde device so you can drive through Portugal's toll roads without stopping, especially on the A1 motorway from Porto to Sintra. This not only saves time but also simplifies your trip. Be mindful of the speed limits and traffic laws in Portugal and plan your parking in Sintra before you set off.
Start your trip early
To make the most of your visit to Sintra, start your journey from Porto early in the morning. It’ll help you avoid the peak traffic around Lisbon and you’ll arrive in Sintra with enough time to explore before the afternoon crowds. An early start gives you a head start on both the road and the tourist influx.
Pack wisely
Portugal experiences more or less warm temperatures all year round. And especially if you are visiting during the hot summer months, pack enough water bottles with you. Have your preferred snacks ready to keep your energy level high. Dress in lightweight and airy clothes to be comfortable during the whole drive.
How to get from Porto to Sintra
There are several ways to travel from Porto to Sintra, including driving, taking a bus, train, flying, or having a door-to-door private car service like Daytrip at your service. Take a look at your options and pick the one that’s the most convenient for you.
Porto to Sintra by private car service

Your English-speaking driver will pick you up, help you with your luggage, give you insightful tips about Portugal, wait for you while you explore the towns on the way, and leave you at your desired destination in Sintra.
Porto to Sintra by train
From Porto, take a train to Lisbon, namely Oriente, Santa Apolónia, or Entrecampos stations, and then switch to a Sintra-bound train. The train ride from Porto to Lisbon takes around 2.5-3 hours. From Lisbon to Sintra, it's about 40 minutes. The combined train ticket cost varies but expect to pay around €25 to €40 one-way per person. Keep in mind that although trains are frequent, switching trains in Lisbon can be complicated.
Porto to Sintra by bus
There are direct bus services from Porto to Sintra. Flixbus and Rede Expressos operate between Porto and Sintra around three or four times a day. The bus ride can take 3.5-4.5 hours.

Be blown away by Pena Palace

In the 19th century, Ferdinand II purchased it and some of the surrounding estates, like the Moorish Castle, and transformed them into the things of wonder you see today. Pena Palace’s hodgepodge of architectural styles, vibrant facades, and opulent interiors make it one of the finest examples of Romanticist architecture in the world, not to mention the centerpiece of Sintra’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Get tickets in advance!
Explore the Moorish Castle
Step back into the 8th century as you walk through the ruins of the Castelo dos Mouros. One of Sintra's UNESCO-listed monuments, this historic fortress offers stupendous views that stretch from the green hills of Sintra to the Atlantic coast from its hilltop perch. Wander around its ancient ramparts and battlements, and immerse yourself in the rich Moorish history that shaped the region.
Don’t skip the Sintra National Palace
The heart of Portuguese history, and another piece of Sintra's UNESCO-listed landscape, lies at the Sintra National Palace, an architectural treasure distinguished by its iconic twin conical chimneys. It is nestled in the old town of Sintra and boasts an extensive collection of Moorish tiles and a rich history as a residence for Portuguese royalty. Explore its blend of Gothic, Manueline, Moorish, and Mudéjar styles, which reflect the diverse cultural influences that have swept through Sintra over the centuries.
Be mesmerized at Quinta da Regaleira
Just a short walk from Sintra’s historic center rests the Quinta da Regaleira, yet another of Sintra's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is an estate under a Gothic spell, nothing like anything you’ve seen before. It will captivate you with its Gothic façades, magical gardens, and mystical grottoes.
Venture into the Initiation Well, a symbol of rebirth, leading you through an underground labyrinth to come out transformed. The green gardens, hidden tunnels, and antique architecture make it a fascinating blend of history, mysticism, and nature.
When is the best time to visit Sintra
Sintra is beautiful and quite enchanting pretty much during every season. But spring is the best time to visit.
Plan your trip from Porto to Sintra during the spring months from March to May. The temperatures will be ideal for exploring Sintra, the gardens will be in bloom, and since you will be avoiding the peak travel times, you’ll have a more relaxed and laid-back experience with fewer crowds.
Alternatively, visit in the fall months from September to November for a similar experience, except the gardens and forests will be changing color rather than blooming!

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Pedro was amazing. It was one of our most enjoyable days. He was knowledgeable, professional and very engaging. We were so impressed we asked if he could provide us transfer to the airport at the end of the trip. I will make sure to use him again should we find ourselves back in Portugal.”
“We got picked up from Sintra and taken to Porto, Portugal with Augusto. He couldn’t do more for us. We stopped in Nazaré and Coimbra along the way with Augusto giving us tips and directions on what to see. The door to door service was perfect considering we a group of two families.”
