Overview

This tour explores why Sintra became the capital of Romanticism in the 19th century, avoiding typical tours. As we begin walking up we arrive at Vila Sassetti's gardens, a hidden gem near the centre, then ascend for panoramic views of the coastline near Mourish Castle. Entering Pena Palace park through the lake entrance, we encounter diverse wildlife amid stunning natural scenery. At Pena Palace, we admire the exterior, visit the chapel, and enjoy a break at the cafeteria. Moving to the High Cross for unique views, we then explore the eastern park towards the Chalet of the Countess. Descending through the park's farm area and leaving the Pena Park we head to Mourish Castle and pass landmarks like Hans Christian Andersen's house en route to the historical centre, concluding a challenging yet enriching journey with nearly 300m elevation gain with some traditional snacks.
