Hiking in the Sintra area offers a great mix of mystical forests, historical sites, and  steep cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais features a vast network of trails, covering hundreds of kilometers. Whether you want to hike between castles and palaces, feeling like travelling back in time, or trek along the rugged coastline, the region features well-maintained trails ranging from easy walks to more challenging hikes.

Due to Sinra´s unique microclimate it rarely gets too hot, and especially in the hills and forests of the Sintra Natural Park hiking is possible all year round.

Along the coast, the trails follow impressive cliffs, only interrupted by beautiful beaches. The forests display a wide variety of plants and trees, frequently opening up for breathtaking views.
