Sintra Travel Guide: 529 reviews and 2,121 photos

Antonio took us to visit Sintra to see the Royal Palace, the kings palace, this was in 2009 for the VT Euromeet.
In 2011 revisited with my wife Zohara.
Also in Sintra do not miss the Pena Palace and Castelo dos Mouros.

And the Pena Palace with all its diverse structures.

and other people just came to mimic the street actors....
I gave Lori only 1 (yes one) Euro for this act.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Pena Palace and Royal Palace together make a hit
