Description
Do you want to discover the beauty of Sintra through its Culture and History?
We offer the ideal tour!
We are LaMiRé, a group of portuguese guides, and we created this tour to show you the best our hometown has to offer!
On this tour we introduce you to the main sights of Sintra, always accompanied by its stories and historical context:
We will begin in the Correnteza Garden – only 5min from the train station. Then we'll head towards the City Council. On the way to the National Palace, we'll make a few stops surrounded by nature and historical remains. We'll visit the Saint Martin’s Church, many fountains, the Lawrence Hotel (the oldest in the Iberian Peninsula), and we finish the tour near Quinta da Regaleira — the most beautiful garden in Sintra (and Lisbon) which we truly recommend to enter after our tour.
Along this route we will give you a general idea of the History, the monuments, the romantic arquitecture and the mystical atmosphere that make our Sintra the fairytale it is. Halfway through, we'll also take a break so you can use the toilet and buy some of the best pastries from Sintra: queijadas and travesseiros!
Here we promise quality and authenticity. And a good vibe too!
Hope to see you soon :)
Short note:
The Moorish Castle and the Pena Palace are too far away from the town’s center to be visited. We´ll explain a lot about the palaces and their context, so you’ll be able to understand everything you are going to see in case you want to visit them on your own.
Guide: Lamiré Tours
Guiding since 2025PRO
We are LaMiRé, a group of portuguese guides, and we created this tour to show you the best our hometown has to offer!
Lamiré is a portuguese word with many meanings:
It's the name of an instrument that strikes the note to begin a song. Hence the three musical notes: Lá, Mi and Ré.
This is where the portuguese expression "dar um lamiré"/”to give a lamiré” comes from - to give a brief explanation about something.
This is our motto: to give you the best lamiré about Sintra so then you will be ready to sing about it if you want!
