Ideas for all levels of education
School and Youth Recreational Programme
Characterised by its vast historical and natural wealth, the Cultural Landscape of Sintra is home to parks and monuments where learning is enhanced by the surrounding heritage. With the specific needs of school groups in mind, and in liaison with teachers, Parques de Sintra provides diverse visits and activities suited to pupils at all levels of education. These are led by guides and specialised instructors who use an engaging and informal approach, without forgetting the accuracy of the content, to encourage participation so that participants leave with a desire to come back to this place that holds a delight in every corner and so many new things to learn.
