Nestled in the foothills of Portugal's Sintra Mountains, just a half hour drive from the capital, Lisbon, the picturesque town of Sintra is an alluring blend of natural beauty and rich history. Known for its romantic 19th-century architectures, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a veritable treasure trove of captivating palaces, mysterious gardens, and ancient castles. Highlights include the pastel-colored Pena Palace, the mysterious Quinta da Regaleira, and the ancient Moorish Castle, which offers breathtaking views from its hilltop vantage point. The charming old town streets are equally inviting, filled with traditional pastries shops and authentic Portuguese restaurants. With its regal hilltop features and surrounding natural beauty, Sintra provides a fairytale backdrop that's perfect for a day trip or an extended stay.

Sintra is an absolutely magical place surrounded by mountains and full of beautiful historical and architectural treasures. It is very safe and compact and it is well-connected to Lisbon and other parts of Portugal by railway.
