Description

Do you want to discover the beauty of Sintra through its Culture and History? We offer the ideal tour!

We are LaMiRé, a group of Portuguese guides. We created this tour to show you the best our hometown has to offer!

This tour introduces you to the main sights of Sintra, always accompanied by its stories and historical context: we will begin in the Correnteza Garden, only 5 minutes from the train station. Then we'll head towards the City Council. On the way to the National Palace, we'll make a few stops surrounded by nature and historical remains. We'll visit the Saint Martin’s Church, many fountains, the Lawrence Hotel, and we will finish the tour near Quinta da Regaleira - the most beautiful garden in Sintra (and Lisbon), which we truly recommend visiting after our tour.

Along this route, we will give you a general idea of the History, the monuments, the romantic architecture, and the mystical atmosphere that make our Sintra the fairytale it is. Halfway through, we'll also take a break so you can use the toilet and buy some of the best pastries from Sintra: queijadas and travesseiros!

Here we promise quality and authenticity. And a good vibe too! Hope to see you soon :)

An exceptional way to discover the heart and soul of Sintra!

I had a wonderful experience on The Heart & Soul of Sintra: History, Art & Culture tour with Constancia from Lamira. She was an outstanding guide, combining a deep knowledge of Sintra’s rich history, art and architecture with a genuine passion for sharing the stories that make this place so special. What made the experience truly memorable was her ability to go beyond the usual tourist highlights, bringing the town’s history and cultural heritage to life through fascinating insights and engaging storytelling. Her enthusiasm, personal approach and attention to detail made the tour both informative and enjoyable. If you want to understand Sintra beyond its beautiful palaces and picturesque streets, I highly recommend this experience. Constancia is a fantastic ambassador for Sintra, and this tour was a real highlight of my visit! Thank you, Constancia, for such a memorable experience!
