Situated in the town’s historical centre, this viewpoint is within easy reach of the railway station. A truly romantic setting, with the creepers wrapped round the columns and a porch that serves as a shelter for those wishing to take a rest on the benches and admire an alchemical scenario.
It has a fine view of the Serra (mountains), the National Palace of Pena, the Moorish Castle and the National Palace of Sintra.

A viewpoint from which one can see the Sintra coastline. It has a stunning view of the cliffs looming over the full majesty of the Atlantic Ocean, but is flanked by the picturesque scene of the little houses adorned with blue, almost as if sculpted into the rock. In this idyllic setting the sea enters between the cliffs, forming small natural pools.
It is situated in the parish of Colares, 14 km from the historical centre of Sintra.
