Discover Feel Lisboa's private experiences: Sintra, Fátima, wine tastings and local tours to complete your stay in Lisbon.

Staying at a Feel Lisboa property is only the beginning, the real magic of a Lisbon trip lies in what you discover beyond your front door. Enchanting Sintra, serene Fátima, vineyards in the Alentejo and Arrábida, or a morning stroll along the Tagus: Feel Lisboa has put together a catalogue of private, local experiences designed to complement your stay, without the hassle of planning everything yourself. In this article, we walk you through the experiences available so you can plan your Lisbon visit with everything sorted.

Sintra: Fairytale Landscapes Just Outside Lisbon

For many Feel Lisboa guests, Sintra is the must-do excursion during their stay. The town, with its colourful palaces and enchanting gardens, sits just over half an hour from Lisbon, making it perfect for a half-day or full-day escape. Feel Lisboa recommends several ways to experience it, depending on your pace and interests.

• Private tour of Sintra: with Pena Palace, wine tasting and a visit to local vineyards, departing from Lisbon.
• One-Day Tour to Sintra: departing from Lisbon, covering the main historical sites.
• The best tour of Sintra from Lisbon: Pena Palace, Cabo da Roca and Cascais, for those who want to combine history with the Atlantic coast.
• Off-road adventure in Sintra: with atlantic views and secret trails for a more adventurous outing.

Fátima, Batalha, Nazaré and Óbidos: History and Spirituality North of Lisbon

For those seeking a more spiritual or historical journey, Feel Lisboa organises a private tour to Fátima departing from Lisbon, ideal for pilgrimages or shorter visits to the Shrine. There is also a more complete experience combining Fátima with Batalha, Nazaré and Óbidos, four destinations that capture the historical, coastal and medieval side of Portugal north of the capital.

This is a great option for guests who already know Lisbon and Sintra and want to extend their itinerary to other regions, always with the convenience of a private tour organised right from your accommodation.

Wine and Gastronomy: Authentic Flavours Outside Lisbon

Portugal is a top destination for wine lovers, and Feel Lisboa gives you access to two tasting experiences at estates outside the city. The private Évora tour includes a wine tasting at Adega Cartuxa, one of the Alentejo's most renowned estates. The private Arrábida tour combines mountain scenery by the sea with a wine and cheese tasting at Maison Tait Hill.

For those who prefer to explore flavours within Lisbon itself, there is also a food and wine tour around the city, off the usual tourist trails, designed for guests who want to discover "undiscovered" Lisbon, with stops that go beyond the obvious.

Lisbon on Foot, by Tram and by Boat

Not every experience requires leaving the city. Feel Lisboa also recommends ways to get to know Lisbon in depth: a walking tour of the Belém neighbourhood combined with a tram ride and boat trip, a shared boat tour along the Tagus, an express visit to Lisbon for those short on time, and the ever-popular Pastel de Nata workshop, a fun and delicious way to learn one of Portugal's most iconic recipes.
