The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on account of its 19th century Romantic architecture, it is a major tourist attraction, with many day-trippers visiting from nearby Lisbon. Attractions include the Palácio da Pena (19th c.) and the Castelo dos Mouros (reconstructed 19th c.) in the Serra de Sintra nature park, and the Palácio Nacional de Sintra (largely 15th/16th c.), in the village itself. Also, the whole Sintra Mountain Range (Serra de Sintra) is also a tourist attraction, being one of the biggest green parks in the Lisbon Area.
Other major towns in the municipality are Algueirão-Mem Martins with 65,546, Agualva-Cacém with 55,762, Rio de Mouro with 46,023, Massamá with 28,174, Queluz with 27,910 and Monte Abraão with 22,039. Sintra is unique in the concelhos of Portugal in having the municipality seat in a town, despite having 2 cities in the municipality (Agualva-Cacém and Queluz).
Major activities in the area are commerce and tourism. Tourists are drawn by the cultural heritage in the village itself, the nature park of Serra de Sintra, the coastal beaches in the municipality and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, which lies 18 kilometres west of Sintra.
Some areas close to Lisbon are essentially residential suburbs already in conurbation with Amadora, Odivelas and Lisbon. According to recent statistics, Sintra's suburban railway is the most crowded suburban train system in Europe. Sintra's problems include major pendular movements to Lisbon, with terrible traffic during rush hour on the IC-19 road to Lisbon.
