Sintra, Portugal, is a magical, hilly town near Lisbon, famous for its fairytale castles, mystical estates, and lush forests, earning it UNESCO World Heritage status as a Cultural Landscape. Once a royal summer retreat, it boasts stunning sites like the colorful Pena Palace, the ancient Moorish Castle, and the enigmatic Quinta da Regaleira with its Initiation Well, offering a blend of Romanticism, Moorish, and Manueline architecture amidst rich nature, making it a must-visit destination for history and fantasy lovers. We loved Sintra!
