"Portugals wedding capital." Sintra by cachaseiro

Sintra Travel Guide: 529 reviews and 2,121 photos

Sintra is a very romantic little town set right outside Lisbon up in the hills.
the town is full of castles, churches and other historic buildings and is one of the most scenic towns in Portugal.

i' went there for a wedding.

Sintra has specialised in arranging weddings because of it's romantic setting.
I went there for the wedding of two of my best friends in may 2007.
Two years earlier my old friend Claudia from portugal came to Denmark to start up a buisness and i introduced her to my good friend Lars and they ended up getting married.
We had a really nice wedding party there with people from all over the world as both Lars and Claudia are keen travellers and have lot's of friends around the world.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:very pretty
  • Cons:very touristy

    I too want to get married in Sintra, it's been my dream but so far no one wants to take me! Claus, it was pure fun to finally meet you at the Meet. Next time we need to have a really good conversation. Just got back from Algarve.

    Seriously, what a great place to have a wedding. Loved Sintra. Did you go to Belem just for the pastry? That's why I went :D

    The only thing I remember from Cintra is an excellent açorda dish! I missed the romantic side, obviously!

    Sintra is indeed a beautiful place for a wedding! Looks like everyone was very happy with it all but, did anyone dance with the best man?!
