Storytelling Sintra Free Walking Tour
Tour description
Sintra is a unique and very special location near Lisbon. And you read everywhere that is a must-see. But why? Why is it so special? Why does it have two Unesco protections? Why so many palaces and why does it look like a 18th-century village?
Allow me to storytell you Sintra!
Sintra is full of history and stories that began way before you might think!
I know Sintra since young and grow up during the holidays in the streets of Sintra for many years. And I love its stories and history. On top, I'm a caring calm person with a perspective of tourism very different from what is usually done.
The walk starts near the train station and ends at the Palace of Seteais, near Quinta da Regaleira. On the way, we pass and stop in:
- The municipal center
- Queijadas da Sapa
- The Historical Center
- The National Palace of Sintra
- Regaleira Palace
- The Seteais Palace
We will see, if the weather allows, the Moorish Castle, the coast line, and even the iconic Pena Palace from a very special viewpoint.
It's a beautiful 2h30 walk with a lot of interesting and beautiful stops for photos and history and stories.
I'm not going to overwhelm you with history details that you're going to forget after 5m. I'll rather tell you a story about Sintra and how it changed and how it was shaped by history!
