Hidden secrets of Sintra: A Local’s Mountain Walk

Join me, a local guide born and raised in Sintra, for an unforgettable walking tour that begins in the historic center, right in front of the National Palace. We'll pass by the famous Piriquita pastry shop, where you can taste a delicious travesseiro or sip a Ginjinha. I’ll even share local tips on where to enjoy a great lunch. 

Then, the real adventure begins. 

We'll hike up the Sintra mountain through the stunning and secret trails of Villa Sassetti — a hidden green path known only by locals. Along the way, you’ll discover breathtaking viewpoints, the Gardener’s House of the Royal Court, and pass by iconic monuments like the Pena Palace and Moorish Castle

As we walk, I’ll share stories about Portugal’s history, legends of Sintra, and curiosities about famous sites like the Quinta da Regaleira and Monserrate Palace

This tour ends at the very top of the Sintra mountain, where nature, mystery, and history come together in one epic view. 

Book now and let’s explore Sintra through the eyes of someone who calls it home! 

The tour lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes
