Sintra Walking Tour

Ready to explore Sintra Portugal with your feet on the ground and your mind full of wonder? This Sintra Walking Tour is the perfect way to experience the town’s historical, cultural, and sweet side in a few unforgettable hours.

The adventure begins at the Sintra train station, where your local guide will greet you with a smile—and a flag that says Portugal Guided Tours. From the start, you’ll feel like you’re with a friend, not just a guide.

As you go through Sintra town, you’ll dive into its rich tapestry of stories. Learn about the area’s Moorish roots, the influence of the Knight Templars, and how this fairytale region became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every street and corner has a legend.

Your first major stop is the iconic Sintra National Palace. With its twin chimneys and intricate tilework, this landmark has hosted kings and queens for centuries. Your guide will take you inside to explore it and uncover its fascinating royal history.

Then, it’s time for a completely different wonder, Quinta da Regaleira. Known for its mystical symbolism, underground tunnels, hidden grottos, and the stunning Initiation Well, this place is unlike any other castle in Sintra. The tour here is a journey through mystery and philosophy.

Of course, no tour of Sintra is complete without its pastries. You’ll stop at a local pastry shop to try the town’s most famous treats: travesseiros and queijadas. It’s a sweet break that’s as authentic as it gets.

This is a small-group walking tour, meaning you’ll enjoy a relaxed pace, ask all your questions, and connect with both the place and your guide. If you’re coming from Lisbon or Cascais, we’ll help you with transport details so you arrive stress-free and on time.
