Logistics 🚗
Sintra is about 30 km (~20 miles) from Lisbon International Airport by car.
We recommend flying at least a day before, especially if you're coming from the USA, so that you adapt to the timezone (GMT).
Ubers are widely available. We recommend taking one from the airport into Sintra (around €30). You can also rent a car but keep in mind that parking in Sintra is very limited and tiny streets make it hard to get around.
Our venue is called Quinta da Bella Vista. All events will be here.
Address: R. Barbosa du Bocage 60, 2710-517 Sintra, Portugal
Hotels 🛌
We have negotiated special rates with the hotels below, all of which are close to the wedding venue. Use the booking code "THERESAJOAO" when you book your rooms.
You are, of course, welcome to find other accommodation. Please keep in mind that July is peak season and Sintra is extra touristy. Book well in advance.
About Sintra 🏰
Sintra, Portugal, is a place of enchantment and romance.
Nestled in the foothills of Portugal’s Sintra Mountains, this picturesque town is renowned for its stunning 19th-century Romanticist architecture, historic estates, lush gardens, and dense forests. The UNESCO World Heritage site is rich in history and culture, featuring the famous Pena Palace, a vibrant example of Portuguese Romanticism, and the mystical Moorish Castle with its breathtaking views.
Sintra's fairy-tale ambiance, combined with its mild, pleasant climate, make it one of the most romantic place in the world. Indeed, English author Robert Southey referred to Sintra as “the most blessed spot on the whole inhabitable globe.”
