This well is a great place to visit as part of a tour of the Quinta da Regaleira. It is unique (in my experience), and of great interest if you are into the Knights Templar and similar groups. Look ot for the Knights Templar cross there

Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point in Europe and is well worth the trip from wherever you are on the Iberian peninsula. Windy, craggy, magnificent views of of the crashing surf; we could have spent hours here. Sadly, we were on an otherwise fabulous bus tour and only had 40 minutes. Bring lunch and take your time!

The palace is one of the most beautiful in Portugal. A beautiful palace located between Lisbon and Sintra. Built in 1747 by the future D. Pedro III, spouse of D. Maria I, the Queluz Palace was initially conceived as a summer residence, becoming a privileged place of rest and entertainment for the royal family, which permanently settled in 1794 until his departure to Brazil in 1807 after the French invasions. Very rich interiors. Inside, there are important art collections that reflect the style of the court from the 17th to the 19th century, in baroque, rococo and neoclassical styles. A place of undeniable beauty and historical value. You can take pictures and film inside. An attraction not much appreciated . We were alone in some parts of the palace. Huge space and wonderful atmosphere. Beautiful gardens that allow a very pleasant walk. Peace and quiet above all, no crowds. A must visit, impressive.

This palace is way underrated in comparison with Pena Palace and/or other castles in Lisbon. Because of that it is rather quiet and private - which gives you a nice space to explore on your own. The garden is huge with nice maze decorations and water fountains at various places. It is also known as the Versailles of Portugal - not in the scale but in the style. It is definitely worth visiting!

Small, but beautiful train station in the heart of Sintra. Quick and easy access from Lisbon. It is the railway gate to Sintra and it touristic attractions.This pretty station, located on Avenida Dr. Miguel Bombarda, is a 1.5 km walk to the center of Sintra town . Sintra Station in Sintra dates from 1887 and is a lovely station decorated with azulejos tile work on its walls. One of the most beautiful train stations I've ever seen.
