From here, we will walk about 2 km to a sacred lake with living waters; when you're up to it, we can do some relaxing and breathing exercises to get into the teluric frequency of Sintra's waters. "Please bring a pareo or scarf to sit on and wipe your feet after soaking in the lake."

We stop in the mountains, and we're having a wonderful sightseeing tour of Pena Palace. The Parks of Pena are beautiful botanical gardens in Romantic style, with connections to ancient heritages and exotic landscapes. Originally the main source, Penha of Sintra has been a pilgrimage point all over the civilizations and centuries's... The yellow Royal Palace was built as the summer residence of the last dynasty of kings in the 19th century. Integrating all the heritages and symbols of our nation in the romantic expression of his time. If you want to visit on a tour, I suggest the tour by the exterior and the parks that you can choose at the moment; the interior is always crowded, and you have to schedule the day before to 1 p.m.

Once more, past history connects with the Romantic time of Sintra, where an English merchant built its beautiful summer residence with amazing architecture and the beautiful gardens that characterize all these palaces of Sintra. That's the park and palace that I suggest visiting on a tour. Here we finish the palace sightseeing and follow to the wonderful natural places, where we connect with the water sources and the immense Atlantic Ocean.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Walking to The Holly Waters and Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sintra.
How much does Walking to The Holly Waters and Sightseeing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sintra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Walking to The Holly Waters and Sightseeing Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sintra is not rushed.
Is Walking to The Holly Waters and Sightseeing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sintra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Walking to The Holly Waters and Sightseeing Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Walking to The Holly Waters and Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking to The Holly Waters and Sightseeing Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sintra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sintra and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking to The Holly Waters and Sightseeing Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sintra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sintra?
+
On Outty we rank every Sintra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sintra Historical Jeep Adventure - Palaces & Secret Routes, Sintra Jeep Safari, Private Tour to Sintra from Lisbon - Palaces, Gardens & Coast. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sintra?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sintra?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
