The Sintra castles are great and picturesque, definitely a value for money. The streets can be tricky to navigate, with sidewalks so narrow one person can hardly pass, but if you feel up to the task opt for walking everywhere: you’ll save some money and see more. However, beware: you legs might hurt from going uphill. A lot! Also don’t miss out on Cabo da Roca! A comfortable bus leaves from Sintra train station often enough.
Sintra has too many tourists for it to be really enjoyable. Beautiful palaces and setting, just too many ques for an off season attraction. Best views are mostly from the outside of these beautiful places where the architecture shines!
Sintra recently changed many of its streets to one-way, which made it exceedingly hard to reverse directions it you took a wrong turn—which we did, and we ended up having to go all the way up the mountain and down again just to rectify the error. Also, the Pena Palace was worth visiting, but if you have only one day, I’d recommend the Quinta da Regaleira palace and gardens instead.
Sintra is true find! Beautiful, historic with so much to see. Hadn’t heard of it before we started researching Portugal, so glad we came across it, wish we had stayed longer. Suggestion for those visiting the area, stay in Sintra and take easy commuter train into Lisbon for day trips. Must see in Sintra include: Monserrate Palace, make sure to have plenty of time to walk the gardens; Quinta da Regaleira, again, amazing gardens and follies; the Moorish Palace at Pena Palace.
It is a very charming medieval town with beautiful castles and gardens. The restaurants were great and very picturesque! We loved walking around the little streets. Workers were very polite and helpful!
Sintra is a place you do not want to miss when you visit Portugal. We spent 3 days in this lovely, historic city and did not feel rushed to see the sights. Excellent restaurants and shopping as well as historic sights.
“I could see the Moorish Castle from my window at night! Jerome the owner was a great host attending to all our needs. Breakfast was delicious and be ause we had to leave early before breakfasr, he prepared a breakfast to go that was outstanding. Beds were comfortable. Sintra is beautiful. Great two days!”
“It is really close to Sintra park, and you can easily find parking slot in that area. From hotel to entrance in Sintra park is about 15 minutes of walk, and no need to search parking slot on the park itself, as once you entered in Castle side, you will leave park in another place. ”
