Sintra Portugal Travel

Was looking to go to Sintra for the day when a group from Canada, Argentina, Holland and Australia were also going, I asked if I could join, they said sure and we headed to Rossio Train Station, a short walk from our hostel. Super excited.

Sintra is a fairy-tale town located just a short train ride from Lisbon, known for its stunning palaces, lush gardens, and picturesque landscapes and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Above Pena National Palace, we took the City bus to get to the Palace.
The Castle of the Moors, its quiet a walk, the views are well worth it
