Portugal is much more than just Lisbon and Porto. Have you ever heard about Sintra?
Sintra is a typical Portuguese town and a fascinating destination that offers you a variety of historic monuments, castles and famous palaces. The town is known for its romantic style and architecture. Located near the capital of Portugal, Lisbon, Sintra can be visited in a one or two-days tour. One day will allow you to see the main touristic attractions, while two days will allow you to see Sintra on its all, and this is totally worth it!

The highlight of Sintra is the Palacio Da Pena. From outside, one can see different designs, styles and influences, but the interior is totally worth a visit as well. It has been restored to how it has looked in 1910 and has different hidden pathways and great view points.
Castelo Dos Mouros is another must-visit. It is a idyllic ruined castle that is surrounded by the forest that has overgrown the ancient walls. The castle is located high above Sintra with panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the region of Sintra. Worth the visit for beautiful pictures and healthy fresh air.
Not so far driving from Sintra, Cabo Da Roca, is totally worth a stop. It is the most westerly point of Europe, with massive cliffs and a powerful sea.
There is so much more to visit in Sintra and its surroundings. You should take these places into consideration when traveling to beautiful Portugal.
