MU.SA – Museu das Artes de Sintra / Casino

Initially built to house a casino, the building was conceived by the Sintra Tourism Society, which aimed to equip the town with socio-cultural and leisure infrastructure. The project, designed by architect Norte Júnior and financed by Adriano Júlio Coelho, resulted in a very imposing building. Its period of glory as a casino occurred between 1924 and 1937. Since it never held a gambling license, the main activities promoted were art exhibitions, concerts, parties, and shows. Today it is owned by the City Council, which has transformed it into a cultural space, the MU.SA - Sintra Museum of Arts.

Padaria Saloia

A dream that feeds generations. The pão com chouriço (bread with chorizo) from Padaria Saloia first stood out in street vending fifty years ago, after an invitation from the Nossa Senhora do Cabo Festivities Committee. For almost half a century, the product’s success and recognition grew through street vending, so much so that, after that first invitation, its presence at fairs around Sintra multiplied. Cherished for years, the dream became a reality, and in 2021, Salomé Patrão and Horácio Patrão opened Padaria Saloia, a space located on one of Sintra’s busiest streets.

News Museum

The NewsMuseum is an experiential space dedicated to news, media, and communication, occupying an 18th-century building that was formerly the Sintra Town Hall. In over 25 thematic modules, spread across the building’s three floors, episodes from the history of Portugal and the world are recalled through their journalistic coverage. The NewsMuseum aims to be an open window into the world of media and communication and their impact on society, employing a strong digital and technological component.     BilhetesAdulto (15-64 anos) 6,50€Criança (até aos 5 anos) gratuitoJovem (6 a 15 anos) 3,50€Sénior (maiores de 65) 3,50€Famílias (2 adultos +2 jovens) 17,00€
