Just a short drive from Lisbon, Sintra is a town steeped in mystery and magic. Known for its romantic 19th-century palaces and gardens, Sintra feels like a place where fairy tales come to life.Â
The most famous of these palaces is the Pena Palace, a brightly colored, eclectic structure that seems like it belongs in a fantasy film. Set high in the hills of the Sintra Mountains, the palace offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
