In the Historic Center (being a day walk, you will, inevitably, see numerous people in the beginning) you will meet Sintra's foremost history researcher, Miguel Boim, who will tell you how the hills, valleys and the Royal Palace were in the past Additionally, some life stories from the past will be told, with the romantic theme associated, that will certainly touch your heart.

After learning some accounts of interest about the subject, we will enter into a more quiet area, climbing the hills and broaching romantic habits from the 18th and 19th centuries that can be found in past documents, as well as personal written memories. The terrain will be irregular in some parts, but nothing to person with no impairment can not handle. The effort implied is equivalent to a stroll around Sintra's Historical Center for the whole afternoon. In some of the valleys there will be more stops for you to enjoy the landscape, having in view some important monuments in the distance (Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra National Palace and others) as well as the Atlantic Ocean in the distance). In the way back (it is a circular route) and before arriving at the Historic Center you will see - from the outside - houses and villas eleven important in the Romanticism era in Sintra. Upon your return to the Historic Center you will have the opportunity to visit it in the evening and, therefore, more calmly than during the day among the crowd.

The walk (about 6 kilometers, in about 4 hours, in regular and irregular terrain) will end at the Historic Center.
