Den anden side af Sintra - Den glemte skov
Beskrivelse
Hvis du ønsker at opleve Sintra uden folkemængder og klichéer, er denne tur for dig. Vi vil tage dig til steder, som de fleste besøgende savner. Denne tur tager dig gennem rum, hvor historien næsten er efterladt: den overdådige enkelhed i Capuchos-klostret, udskåret i skoven med franciskansk ydmyghed; den glemte sentinel af Penedo, en traditionel landsby, der tilsyneladende er suspenderet i tiden; den barske skønhed i Azenhas do Mar, en charmerende gammel fiskerby; og den frodige overflod af Monserrate, hvor naturen blev formet til at afspejle romantiske idealer. Disse rum blev overset gennem historien, men sammen afslører de en dybere, mere autentisk Sintra, hvor stilhed møder spektakel, og enkelhed kontrasterer med storhed. Lavet til dem, der ønsker at bremse ned, undgår denne tur turistfælder og viser en mere ægte Sintra: et sted fuld af kontrast, historie og ro.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Sintra og Cascais er små landsbyer lige uden for Lissabon, og de er den rigtige ”must-do” -turné, når man besøger Lissabon. Sintra Hills ligger i et smukt beskyttet område og er hjemsted for nogle af de smukkeste paladser og slotte.
Begynd i skoven for at besøge Capuchos-klosteret, hvor ydmyghed bliver håndgribelig i korkbelagte vægge, skyggefulde stier og naturens stilhed.
Stop i landsbyen Penedo og Azenhas do Mar for en afslappende frokost. Nyd autentisk portugisisk mad i en atmosfære, der ikke er berørt af tiden.
Udforsk Palace og Park of Monserrate, hvor romantisk arkitektur og eksotiske planter danner et kureret paradis. Hver detalje indbyder til ærefrygt - fra udskårne bueveje til vandfald og palmerede stier.
Hvis der er nok tid, kan du nyde lidt fritid til frokost og udforske Sintra Village, som ligner en postkortby. Smag på de lokale bagerier, tjek nogle souvenirs eller bare nyd stemningen der.

If you appreciate an experience that is interesting, quieter and involves nature, this is the tour for you.
We had a wonderful leisurely tour away from the busy touristy areas outside of Sintra & Cascais. We visited a historic convent, a beautiful botanical garden, & lots of scenic coastline. Since we were the only couple on the tour, our guide was very nice to make some modifications for us and we got to see a couple other areas in addition to the planned itinerary. Our guide was so knowledgeable & really knew the history about all the places we visited. Oriana was “THE BEST” and we really appreciate her great service & sharing her knowledge of the area. Thank you!!!
Amazing tour! We got to visit places we never would have gone without the tour. Guides were amazing and so knowledgeable and patient. The pace was comfortable and relaxed. There were no crowds at any of the places they took us. Great for people who don’t want to just see the touristy areas. We were picked up right at our hotel in a comfortable van and the guides made the whole trip easy. We saw the most amazing views of our visit during this tour. 100% recommend!!
This was an absolutely fantastic tour! I enjoyed seeing the ‘other side’ of Sintra - which was equally as beautiful as the more well known locations but a lot less crowded. Oriana, our guide had such a wealth of knowledge about the places we visited and the region in general! I loved that we got to visit the beautiful mountain locations as well as some coastal stops, without it being too rushed! Would highly recommend this tour!
This was the highlight of my trip to Portugal. Both momserrat and the convent of capuchos are stunning hidden gems in Sintra nacional park. I highly recommend this tour if want to escape the crowds of historical village of Sintra and the pena palace which I visited previously.
Our tour through Sintra was a truly memorable experience, made even better by the excellent organization of the company. The visit to the Convento dos Capuchos was particularly unique—its simplicity and strong connection to nature created a calm and almost spiritual atmosphere. Walking through the small cork-lined rooms and narrow pathways gave us a real sense of how the monks once lived in such modest conditions. In contrast, the Palácio de Monserrate offered a completely different experience, with its exotic architecture and stunning gardens. The mix of Gothic, Moorish, and Indian influences made the palace feel magical, while the surrounding gardens were lush, diverse, and perfect for a relaxing stroll. The journey through the Sintra mountains brought everything together beautifully. The scenery was breathtaking, with misty hills, dense forests, and incredible viewpoints along the way. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing interesting stories and historical insights throughout the tour. Overall, the tour was well-organized, informative, and enjoyable from beginning to end. It provided a perfect balance of history, culture, and nature—highly recommended for anyone visiting Sintra. Thank you Gil!
Amazing experience! This really was the other side of Sintra! And 5 stars to our guide Gil, very knowledgeable and kind! I strongly recommend!
The tour took us through areas I wouldn’t have found on my own. It was a peaceful walk, with interesting stops and plenty of time to take in the surroundings. The guide was knowledgeable and easy to talk to, sharing useful context without overwhelming. A good choice if you’re looking for something different from the usual crowds.
Amazing trip to some hidden gems in Sintra. Would never been able to do this much by myself, and would never learn so much. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. All in all, a great day!
