Sustainable Things to Do in Sintra

Why choose wild Sintra?

Most visitors see Sintra from the window of a crowded bus. We believe the magic is in the "Serra" (the mountains). Our curated experiences involve hiking to the Castelo dos Mouros or Pena Palace through the forest trails, avoiding the carbon-heavy transport loops. This allows you to breathe the cool mountain air and see the exotic flora planted by kings centuries ago.

We partner with local guides who can show you the lesser-known monuments like the Convent of the Capuchos—a humble "Cork Convent" built in harmony with nature. Avoid the plastic souvenirs and instead visit local artisans working with cork and ceramic. By visiting Sintra on foot or electric tuk-tuk, you preserve the mystical silence that makes this place unique.
