Sintra- Straight out of a Fairytale

in hive-184437 •  4 years ago  (edited)

This little town 30 minutes away from Lisbon is a must go destination if you're visiting Portugal.

It feels like you're in a fairytale. It has castles, palaces and a lot of natural beauty surrounding it. If you have a chance to visit, do it and I assure you, you'll absolutely love it. I'd also advise you to read a bit about Sintra's history before visiting to ensure you don't miss anything worth being seen. I've been there 4 times and will definitely visit again.

Here are some of the pictures from my trip:
