You can't visit Lisbon without a trip to stunning Sintra. Skip the line to Monserrate Palace and explore what was once a 16th-century chapel and a private house. See the amazing decorations, walk the gardens of this unique UNESCO World Heritage site, and see special plant species from all over the world!
If life was a fairy tale you can bet a few eligible royals would be hiding out in Sintra, one of the most beautiful and romantic architectural triumphs in Portugal.
You too will feel like a storybook character in an enchanted forest as you walk through the gardens, filled with plants and flowers from all over the world. There's a lake, fountains, springs, and grottoes - and lots more magic to photograph, so be sure to arrive early!
Check out the gothic and Indian influences and take some time to smell the flowers, planted according to their geographical origins.
