Itinerary

  • Centro Historico de Sintra

    4 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    In 1866 Hans Christian Andersen traveled to Portugal. After a few months in Lisbon and Setúbal, I've got Sintra. How was Sintra at the time and what did the danish writer see here? Where did you walk by and what were your impressions? What did the peasants and the high society believe in the Moorish Castle then? And what happened here for Andersen to jump like a little faun full of joy? All of this and much more will be transmitted to you by the Historian Miguel Boim, who studied the memories of Andersen in Sintra, as well as Sintra in the 19th century. You will start your walking tour in Sintra's Historic Center and from there you will pass through a number of places - in the Village and around it - where Hans Christian Andersen also walked, as well as important spots, untraceable nowadays due to the man-made development that followed Andersen's time in Sintra. The walking tour will have a duration of around 3h30 (regular terrain) and the effort implied is equivalent to spending the whole afternoon strolling around touristic areas, with its ups and downs.
