عن هذه التجربة

My name is Diogo, i am an archaeologist and i live in Sintra since i can remember. As a local I've gathered knowledge and love for my land that i now want to share. I've been involved with archaeological excavations in Sintra where we uncovered treasures from past cultures. I am also a local tour guide with plenty of local advise for the newcomers who want to enjoy our marvelous land. I've made this tour thinking about out of the box places that tourists usually don't visit in Sintra, whether it's because mostly only locals know them or they are hard to find. In my view, this tour offers Sintra in it's raw and authentic state away from the crowds with a lot of past secrets to share.

برنامج الرحلة

We will start our tour with a pick up at Sintra train Station and proceed to visit a ruined medieval village at the gates of the Moorish castle, there, we will see the remains of an archaeological excavation where i worked back in 2012 and is now an open air museum with old structures, graves popping off the ground and a museum with a lot of artifacts we found there.

The seccond place we will visit lies in the middle of the Sintra forest where an old chapel lies on a top of a hill, this chapel is known as an old pilgrimage spot where a miracle happened. Another ruined building is also seen on this barren hill top, this ruined church has its foundations on the foundation of Portugal itself. Our journey will continue to this more place of the hill, away from the crowds and mostly known only by locals. For me one of the best views of all the Lisbon bay area.

The last place we will visit will be a curious one. After a 15 minute walk deep down in the Sintra Forest, another hill top facing the westernmost point of continental europe can be visited. The place called Penedo de Adrenunes, gives us the Stonehenge vibes. Despite archaeological artifacts never been found here, it is believed that this place was used by our ancestors 5000 years ago.
