As an archaeologist and native of Sintra, I’ve designed this excursion to let you explore the best of Sintra in a span of 3 to 4 hours. This tour focuses on three main elements that embody the spirit of Sintra: its Cultural Heritage, Mountainous Landscape, and Coastal Beauty.

During the Cultural Heritage section of the journey, we’ll delve deep into the rich history of Sintra, visiting its remarkable landmarks. I’ll share intriguing facts and historical perspective that make these places more impactful.

Following that, we’ll venture to the mountain and forest of Sintra, immerse ourselves in its verdant scenery and unique charm. We’ll make several stops as we traverse westwards towards the coast, appreciating the picturesque views.

One of my best ideas ever to do this! - Just brilliant !! Absolutely recommend..!! The cars are just fantastic .. we loved seeing more than the city and palace .. pick a palace (you’ll struggle to do more than one) Pena or regaleira and go before or after this trip! Makes for a perfect day! We did Regaleira as the queues at Pena were very long! Note the Regaleira is a good walk from Sintra station! The train was €5.45 return Oriente station. €12 entrance to palace. We learned so much about Portugal and the area today .. which was just fantastic! Truly .. Thank you 🤩 ♥️

Great visit to lovely town of Sintra - We've had a fantastic tour of Sintra by Mr. Local during our recent trip to Lisbon. The tour consisted of history, culture and sight seen as well as local stops to shops and food. Our guide was very educative and friendly so we've felt we were one of them visiting the sites. I highly recommend connecting with him before even planning your trip.
