Trip to Sintra




Sintra it's a wonderful village just outside Lisbon that deserves a day trip.It's a World Heritage Site full of beautiful palaces and misterious gardens. I do recommend Palácio de Monserrate for its gardens and palace as well as Quinta da Regaleira for its gradens and well and symbols.
Writers and artists for many centuries chose Sintra as a place to get inspire; I'm sure you will be too ; )
