Monserrate Palace, Pena Palace, and Quinta da Regaleira
Be prepared to walk 30 minutes up cobblestone going to Pena Palace!
Tascanega—so good we ate there twice! It’s easy to order in multiple languages and tapas style to share and try different things. Everything was delicious!
The Monserrate Palace is totally underrated. It was our favorite!
We loved Azenhas dos Mar, a short drive from Sintra
Castelo dos Mouros
Casa Piriquita. loved how such a well known cafe was so authentic and no frills in service. Try the toast - it was quite decadent!
The views. All the hills and buildings that seem to rise above it! The hidden castles! The mercurial weather system that seems to make Sintra a world of its own.
If your child is carsick, be prepared! The drive up to Sintra is definitely not for the weak of stomach, with narrow steep roads that wind up and down steep mountains. Don’t attempt it with a bigger car!
Visited Sintra in September
Photo Shoot Location: Downtown Sintra
Peña Palace (go early right after the photoshoot and get your tickets online!)
Just the laid back vibe against historical backdrop
Allocate a couple days. 1 day was not enough
Don’t just do a day trip from Lisbon, stay & give yourself time to explore as many castles & gardens as you can. Explore all of the gardens at the Quinta da Regaleira - don’t read about it first, enjoy discovering it for yourself.
We stayed in Colares and loved being near the beaches and only a 20 min drive into Sintra. We absolutely want to return!!
Find the Seratti path to walk up to the top. It’s beatifilly landscaped.
