Lisbon guide · HIKING & TREKKING
Lisbon options, compared clearly
Some Lisbon days belong on foot; others are better by boat, bike or car. These hiking & trekking tours show the practical differences that matter once you know how you want the hours to feel.
Sintra’s fairytale Pena Palace, guided coastal views at Cabo da Roca, and a 5 km cliff hike to Praia da Adraga from Lisbon.
“The guide, Walter was very knowledgeable and extremely professional. I highly recommend him for this tour.”
Small-group Sintra with Pena Palace exteriors and a 5 km Cabo da Roca hike to Praia da Adraga, departing Lisbon at 8am.
“The tour of the outside grounds of the palace and the hike to Cabo da Roca were both great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of fun facts along the way. The logistics were a bit chaotic as we were together with another group that was doing the palace and wine tasting and there were a couple of times where we had to wait for our transportation but overall a worthwhile tour.”
A small-group hike to Cabo Espichel’s dinosaur footprints, plus viewpoints, Sesimbra streets, and a scenic salt-pan stop from Lisbon.
“Super Expérience, André est un super guide qui connais beaucoup de choses! Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir plus d'étapes que celles prévues par le circuit :D un circuit a couper le souffle !”
Guided hike in Arrábida Natural Park to Europe’s highest limestone sea cliff, with pickup, small-group pacing, and big views.
“This hike is not for the faint of heart. It starts off with an ascent of about 1000 feet over about 2-3 miles of heavy bush walking on an unmarked trail full of bushes and very uneven terrain. The views from the top are gorgeous. We took the conventional path back with a detour through a muddy cow pasture to save some time. I would recommend this hike for people who are in fairly descent shape that are real outdoor enthusiasts but don’t mind getting scratched up by bush branches and sharp leaves. Andre is a gentle soul that loves the outdoors and has a real zeal for sharing that…”
Sintra sunset hike by classic convertible Jeep, tapas and wine at Secret Beach, plus cliffs of Cabo da Roca and palaces from the road.
“It’s a great, atypical tour, small and cosy, with magnificent views and a fun hike and relaxing moment on the beach. Fully recommend!”
Sunset hike from Cabo da Roca to Ursa Beach with a Portuguese Jeep ride, tapas and wine, then golden hour to Cascais.
“Our sunset hike ended up being rained out but Flamingo made it so easy for us to adjust our plans. We ended up doing the Sintra Jeep safari and had an absolute blast. Our guide Bruno was so much fun to spend the day with.”
Guided hiking in Arrábida Natural Park from Lisbon, with sea views, geology and history stops, and a medium route at about 6 to 8 km.
“Francisco was the best guide for our hike! He gave much interesting information and always made sure we are fine and hydrated. The views are stunning :) Thank you again. We can really recommend this tour and would always choose to book it again.”
A 7-hour small-group hike from Lisbon’s coast to Arrábida, with Atlantic views, natural pools, and dinosaur footprints along the trail.
“The tour ir fantastict!!!!!!! It is unique! The wild west cost of the beautiful part of Portugal with a very kind and great guide! André! It worth every penny and sweat!”
Four-hour guided hikes in Sintra-Cascais Natural Park from Cascais station, with Peninha views, Cresmina dunes, snacks, and great wildlife stories.
“A fantastic hike with a great guide! Saw lots of scenic areas and sites we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise!”
Guided Sintra hike from Lisbon with Moorish Castle, Pena Palace, and Quinta da Regaleira, plus forest trails and small-group pacing.
“I had an amazing time exploring Sintra and this tour is unique since it includes all the monuments I wanted to visit on the day. Alexandra is extraordinary in her wealth of knowledge in nature, botanics as well as history and culture of the area. As a Sintra local, she introduced the significance of Sintra not just in the appearance of mountain and monuments, I also learned so much regarding Portuguese history and culture! The hiking was the best way to avoid the busy traffic jam, however you do need to be prepared to walk through the day. You need to be mindful the walk up and down the Moorish…”
Hike Sintra’s natural trails from Lisbon with a small group, pickup from Carcavelos, and expert guiding in 3 to 4 hours.
