L'altra faccia di Sintra - Forgotten Woods
Descrizione
Se vuoi vivere Sintra senza la folla e i cliché, questo tour fa per te. Ti porteremo nei luoghi che mancano alla maggior parte dei visitatori. Questo tour ti porta attraverso spazi che la storia ha quasi lasciato alle spalle: la semplicità invecchiata del Convento dei Cappuccini, scolpito nella foresta con umiltà francescana; la sentinella dimenticata di Penedo, un villaggio tradizionale apparentemente sospeso nel tempo; la bellezza dura di Azenhas do Mar, un affascinante antico villaggio di pescatori; e la lussureggiante opulenza di Monserrate, dove la natura è stata modellata per riflettere ideali romantici. Questi spazi sono stati trascurati nel corso della storia, ma insieme rivelano una Sintra più profonda e autentica, dove il silenzio incontra lo spettacolo, e la semplicità contrasta con la grandezza. Pensato per chi vuole rallentare, questo tour evita le trappole dei turisti, e mostra una Sintra più reale: un luogo pieno di contrasti, storia e calma.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Sintra e Cascais sono piccoli villaggi appena fuori Lisbona, e sono il vero tour "da non perdere" quando si visita Lisbona. Situate in una bellissima area protetta, le colline di Sintra ospitano alcuni dei più bei palazzi e castelli.
Inizia nella foresta per visitare il Convento dei Cappuccini, dove l'umiltà diventa tangibile nelle pareti rivestite di sughero, nei sentieri ombreggiati e nella quiete della natura
Sosta nel villaggio di Penedo e Azenhas do Mar per un pranzo rilassante. Gustate l'autentica cucina portoghese in un ambiente incontaminato dal tempo.
Esplora il Palazzo e il Parco di Monserrate, dove l'architettura romantica e le piante esotiche formano un paradiso curato. Ogni dettaglio invita alla soggezione — dagli archi scolpiti alle cascate e ai sentieri fiancheggiati da palme.
Se c'è abbastanza tempo, goditi un po' di tempo libero per pranzare ed esplorare il villaggio di Sintra, che sembra proprio una città da cartolina. Assaggia i dolci locali, controlla alcuni souvenir o semplicemente goditi l'atmosfera lì.

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!
