Sintra: Audio Guide App

About this experience

Book the Sintra audio guide app and discover Portugal's fairy-tale town without meeting points or tour guides. Your smartphone becomes your companion as you explore the palaces, gardens and winding lanes of Sintra, with expert commentary on more than 15 highlights, including the remarkable Pena Palace and Park. What the Sintra audio guide covers Sintra is famous for its romantic palaces and hilltop views, and the app helps you understand what you are seeing. Every location has up to two minutes of audio commentary, so you get the story of each place without long lectures. Use the digital map to follow mapped routes around Sintra or explore as you please, moving from the colourful Pena Palace and its park to the historic town centre and the gardens and estates nearby. Listen as you walk, pause while you take photos, and pick up again whenever you like. How the Sintra audio guide app works After booking, you receive instructions to activate the app. The easiest way is to scan the QR code in your confirmation with your phone: it opens the app store, downloads the app and logs you in. If you cannot scan a QR code, tap the link below it instead. On a phone, the link installs the app and signs you in, and on a computer it shows your login details and download steps. Download the app and the Sintra content over WiFi before you leave, because the guide works offline once it is on your phone and only uses GPS while you are out exploring. Inside the app you get more than 15 points of interest in Sintra, each with visuals, a written description and audio commentary from local experts. Offline interactive maps and navigation show where you are and suggest routes between stops, but you are free to wander, skip places or come back another day. Commentary is available in English, French, German, Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese. Who the Sintra app suits best The app is ideal for day-trippers from Lisbon and for visitors staying in Sintra who want background without a fixed schedule. Sintra's sights are spread across steep hills, so being able to plan your own order and pace is a real advantage. It also suits families and couples who prefer to spend longer in the places they love and skip the rest, and it works offline, which helps in wooded areas where mobile signal can drop. What to bring and what is not included Bring a charged smartphone and your own earphones, as earphones are not supplied. Admission tickets to the places described in the app are not included, so book any museums or attractions you want to enter separately.
