Tour description

With its exotic landscape and climate, Sintra became the place where the nobles and aristocrats from the XIX century started to build their summer palaces and since then, it's attracted visitors from all over the world, such as the British poet Lord Byron and the German compositor Richard Strauss. 

Classified as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995, Sintra is considered by many the most beautiful city in Portugal and a place that shouldn't be missed. 

From Jardim Correnteza, we'll make our way through the narrow streets of Sintra Village, to discover its history, traditions, and culture and have the chance to try the famous local pastries, Queijada and Travesseiro.  

We'll have the chance to see the Sintra National Palace, one of the oldest palaces in Portugal, and learn a bit more about the Portuguese Royal family, the Moorish Castle built to protect the city from invaders, discover the secrets of the majestic Quinta da Regaleira, to wonder at the incredible Palácio da Pena, built on the top of the hill, next to a former monastery by King D. Fernando II in the XIX century and much more. 

 

We are sure after this tour, you'll fall in love with this magical place and feel that one day is not enough.

Telma was a very good guide. Tour went to interesting sites info was very good but a little too long to stand in the heat. Very crowed at cafe where we stopped for a pastry.

The tour was a great introduction to Sintra and Telma was a great guide who made it easy for me as a slow walker to keep up with the group. She told us a lot of interesting stories about the history of the town and made great suggestions for the rest of the day for our visit.
