Located 15 miles outside of Lisbon, Sintra is a fairy tale come to life. Here colorful palaces are built into steep hillside cliffs and stunning mansions are surpassed in beauty only by their own gardens. Portugal’s royalty and wealthy have come here for centuries to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Today it remains a magical escape with an almost unbelievable variety of castles, palaces, and mansions.
