Cronache di Sintra
Sintra, a historic town in the Lisbon region, was founded in the 12th century as a Moorish settlement. The area's strategic location allowed it to flourish, and by the 15th century, it had become a royal summer residence for the Portuguese monarchy. Sintra's unique blend of architectural styles, including Manueline, Gothic, and Moorish, is a result of its rich history and cultural exchange. The town's picturesque palaces, castles, and gardens have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Today, Sintra is a popular destination for those seeking a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.

Principali attrazioni a Sintra
💡 Start from the town's train station and follow the PR6 trail to Pena Palace and then down to the cliffs. Wear sturdy shoes – the cobbled paths are slippery when wet.
💡 The audioguide is included and excellent – it explains the tile patterns in detail. Go on a weekday afternoon for quieter halls.
💡 Buy the combined ticket with Pena Palace online to save a few euros. Visit the Initiation Well last – it gets crowded by mid-morning.
💡 Skip the queue by booking online. The park alone is worth a visit for the views over the coast, and you can walk up from town via forest trails to save the bus fare.
💡 Go early (before 10am) to have the walls almost to yourself. It's a steep 20-minute walk from the historic centre, but the exercise is worth it for the silence.
