Show all photos
2 hours to 3 hours 20 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

This twilight walk in Sintra with a local writer and historian is an off-the-grid experience that will imprint on your chest a beautiful and lasting memory of Sintra (opposite to the usual crowded tours). The mysteries of the Mountain of the Moon (with the mystery of the name itself, which its origin is unknown) from the time before the Romans, the stays and hunts in the medieval era with the royal family, and the eternal fog that instigated legends and apparitions in the fantasy of people's minds, are the parts and pieces of history that constitute the ingredients of your passage through Sintra, on this pleasant and light walking tour.
