Sintra
Where the lush mountains stay green year-round and Romantic palaces and gardens shrouded in myth abound, Sintra has long been the favored vacation spot for Europe’s royalty and nobility. Here, Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance architecture intermingle amidst tropical, desert and forest plant life, and the scenic beaches and delicious Portuguese seafood make it an ideal retreat from the bustle of Lisbon (only 40 minutes away!).
