What to expect
The route leads past the Palácio de Seteais, the 18th-century palace-hotel whose arch frames the Moorish castle above. Riddles unpack the 'seven sighs' of its name.
At the Chafariz Manuelino, trivia flows with the spring water that supplied Sintra for centuries, carved in classic Manueline flourish.
Then the Quinta da Regaleira takes the stage — gothic pinnacles, symbol-laden gardens and the famous initiation well that riddles can't resist.
Count on around two hours in Sintra's microclimate, so pack a light layer. The leaderboard settles who solved the mountain's mysteries.
