Sintra is a delightful Portuguese town that is situated within the hills of the Serra de Sintra. Hidden within these pine covered hills are extravagant palaces, opulent mansions and the ruins of an ancient castle.
The variety of fascinating historic buildings and enthralling attractions, combine to form a fantastic destination. A visit to this wonderful place is a must
[You will find this and other images of mine in my new website:
Sintra is a charming village just about 20 kms from Lisbon's center. The village itself is beautiiful and, in the mountain above it, the palace and castle are also jewels that justify a visit.
What isn't so well known is its coastal area, where you can explore beautiful beaches and amazing rock formations, Along the cooast you will find excellent trekking paths to explore the area.
The spot where this shot was taken has a magnificent view that extends as far as Praia da Ursa (you can see one of its iconic seastacks) and to Cabo da Roca with its far distant lighthouse.

Like a picture postcard, the little city of Sintra, Portugal (UNESCO World Heritage site) charms the soul.
"We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls." -- Anais Nin
Although there are many places to visit in Sintra, I preferred rambling through Sintra's streets, both narrow and wide. I find the Sintra architecture very beautiful and quite peculiar, conveying a mysterious sense of dignity in spite of their old age.

Sintra's town hall built around 1154, one of the many beautiful historical architectural marvels. I am amazed at the precision and detail. The town of Sintra not to be missed when visiting Lisbon in Portugal. So many palaces to see, one day is just not enough.
El Palacio Nacional de Sintra es Patrimonio Mundial de la Unesco y uno de los más peculiares de Portugal gracias a sus dos chimeneas cónicas que pueden observarse casi desde cualquier punto de Sintra. Aunque el palacio, en su origen, era de estilo árabe, fue renovado en el siglo XV siguiendo el estilo manuelino. Fue residencia real hasta la república y ahora es un centro cultural.
Sintra, Portugal (UNESCO World Heritage Site) showcases a special style of Architecture called Manueline which is a cross between Gothic & Romantic - it flourished particularly in the 19th century.

View of Sintra .. here you can see the Paço do Concelho (the tower is all covered in azulejos), built in early 1900. Sintra is a Unesco Heritage and an unique place; about 30 minutes frm Lisbon, its fascinating not only for its beauty and unique climate, but for its Palaces and History.
A favourite holiday place of the Royal family and beloved by the British its a charming place.
