Sintra and Óbidos Tour from Lisbon

This is the itinerary of medieval and romantic castles. Sintra is the first place to visit on this tour: a World Heritage Site, the capital of romanticism in Portugal, it has been the summer residence of the royal family since the 14th century. Its humid microclimate contributed to the exuberance of the vegetation, which was often praised by the romantic poets of the 19th century. On this tour you will have the opportunity to visit several Palaces of Sintra and try the traditional sweets.

100 km north, our tour will arrive in Óbidos, a charming medieval town within walls, where we will taste the typical drink of the region, “Ginja”, served in a chocolate cup.
