Walking & Hiking Tours in Sintra

13 tours · €32–€169 per person · ★ 4.9

Walking tours in Sintra are how you actually take in this hilly, green town, where the palaces everyone wants sit far apart and the roads up to them clog fast. A guide gets you past the queues, walking you straight into Pena Palace and the wooded paths of Quinta da Regaleira with its mossy towers and spiral well.

When you compare Sintra walking tours, decide how much to fit in. A half-day small-group route pairs Pena and Regaleira, the two everyone comes for, with a guide who handles tickets and timed entries. Want the wider day out? Find a tour that strings in the Moorish Castle, Cabo da Roca on the cliffs, and Cascais on the coast, usually a driver-guide itinerary with hotel pickup from Lisbon. Add-on tickets for Monserrate suit anyone chasing the gardens.

13 Sintra walking tours from €32. Small-group and private, half-day or full-day day trips with hotel pickup and free cancellation on most, easy to book online.

Planning a trip to Sintra

Best time to visit

Visit Sintra in spring or autumn for comfortable walking weather and thinner crowds. From late morning in summer the palaces and narrow roads get very busy, so start early or take an organised tour that handles timing and transport.

Getting there & around

Sintra is about a 40-minute train ride from Lisbon (Rossio station). The palaces are spread across steep, wooded hills, so most visitors use the local shuttle bus, tuk-tuks or a guided day tour rather than driving the congested lanes.
