If you want to experience Sintra without the crowds and clichés, this tour is for you. We’ll take you to places that most visitors miss.
This tour takes you through spaces history nearly left behind: the weathered simplicity of the Convent of the Capuchos, carved into the forest with Franciscan humility; the forgotten sentinel of Penedo, a traditional village seemingly suspended in time; the harsh beauty of Azenhas do Mar, a charming old fishing village; and the lush opulence of Monserrate, where nature was molded to reflect romantic ideals.
These spaces were overlooked throughout history, but together they reveal a deeper, more authentic Sintra, where silence meets spectacle, and simplicity contrasts with grandeur.
Made for those who want to slow down, this tour avoids the tourist traps, and shows a more real Sintra: a place full of contrast, history, and calm.
