a private tour of
Sintra & Óbidos
This tour departs from Lisbon towards Sintra, considered by some to be the most romantic town in Portugal. In 1995, the historic center of Sintra and the surrounding mountains were classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can visit one of the many stunning palaces, admire the Moorish castle, and stroll through lush gardens and verdant landscapes. We also visit the historic center, which is small but very charming, and you can sample the typical sweets of this area: the Sintra cheese tarts and the "travesseiros" (a type of pastry), which are truly worth trying.
In the afternoon we'll go to another equally well-known village that's well worth a visit: Óbidos. Conquered by the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, in 1148, this town has a remarkable architectural and artistic heritage, with a castle, several churches, charming alleyways, and many small shops selling handicrafts and the famous ginjinha – a typical liqueur of this area. Óbidos was donated to Queen Isabel as a wedding gift from King Dinis, becoming part of the estate's assets. House of Queens until 1834. Throughout the year there are a series of events that mark the life of this village, such as the Chocolate Festival or the Christmas Fair.
