Tour overview

Two heritage towns, each with a different story.

Óbidos and Sintra reward different kinds of attention. Walk inside Óbidos’ fortified setting, where compact streets and whitewashed houses retain the scale of a medieval town. Continue to Sintra for its historic centre and one palace, garden or castle selected according to your interests and confirmed admission. Private transport connects the destinations efficiently, while the driver-guide adapts walking and practical stops without treating entry tickets or a fixed monument order as guaranteed.

Enter the walled town and explore its lanes, traditional façades and castle setting.

Sintra historic centre

Understand the town’s royal estates and Romantic landscape before the selected monument visit.

Your monument choice

Private connections

Travel from Lisbon and between both towns in a vehicle reserved for your group.
