SIXT services in Sintra
Whether you’re stopping over on a holiday tour of the region or spending more time in this historic town, you can hire a car in Sintra for however long suits you, from a one-day rental to a long-term rental. We offer a range of bookable extras, so if you need a child seat or a sat nav unit simply let us know when you make your reservation. If you want to splash out, we can even provide sports models and powerful convertibles. If luxury cruising is more your style you can hire a saloon, and families or tour groups can choose a multi-seater like a minibus.
What to do while in Sintra
The tourist hub of the town is the cobbled square of cafes, bars and shops outside the Palácio Nacional de Sintra. It’s in the old district of Sintra Vila and the palace itself has the unique conical twin chimneys that are the town’s hallmark. From there, make your way up to Castelo dos Muoros, the 8th-century Moorish castle on a craggy hill behind the old town area. Then take a drive into the foothills of Serre de Sintra to visit another local showpiece, the gardens of Monserrate.
Winter 2024 in Sintra
The climate is temperate, so winter won’t put a dent in your sightseeing. With Sintra car hires sorted, visit the spooky gothic Quinta da Regaleira mansion – you may recognise it from the odd Hollywood thriller. An incongruous attraction in this historic town is the News Museum, spotlighting the role of media and digital communication in modern society. There’s also the extraordinarily colourful Palácio da Pena, a palace towering over the town, with views as far as Lisbon almost 18 miles away.
SIXT Car Hire Sintra
SIXT car hire in Sintra is tailored towards the enjoyment of the town and its surrounding areas. Set on the lower slopes of the Sintra Mountains in Portugal, there are plenty of opportunities to hire something like an MPV and explore attractions off the beaten track above the town. Otherwise, a compact car will help around the older parts with streets built before cars were imagined. We carry premium vehicles with brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi at accessible prices – with SIXT you get affordable luxury. Language won’t be a problem either, as all our branch agents speak fluent English. We’re conveniently situated near the main transport centre of Sintra.
