PORTUGAL: Incredible Day Trip to SINTRA from Lisbon

This is a day trip to Sintra from Lisbon and a detailed explanation of how to get to Sintra by train.
I took a train to Sintra from Rossio Train Station in Lisbon. When I arrived in Sintra, I took bus 434 to Pena Palace from Sintra Train Station. I bought a ticket for Pena Palace park which gives access to the Gardens of Pena Palace and Sintra Valley of the Lakes (Vale dos Lagos). I took Pena Palace shuttle to Pena palace entrance.
After exploring Pena Palace park and the gardens, I visited the Moorish Castle (Castelo dos Mouros) and hiked to the top. Then I visited Sintra Old Town. I ended my day trip at Regaleria Palace (Quinta da Regaleira) where I walked down the Initiation well.
The village of Sintra, classified as world heritage by UNESCO, is found on the northern side of the mountain range that bears its name, a huge structure ending in the impressive cliffs of Roca Cape, the westernmost point of Europe.

    Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am not into seeing the inside of the castle either and I just want to walk around out side and see the nature and views. I’m glad you showed what to expect.

    Thank you. The Gardens outside the palace are so beautiful. You can walk through the gardens to reach the Moorish Castle. It is a beautiful walk.

    Your Pena Palace tickets are for a reserved time slot. Did u not notice the "time signs" . I think the "line" is just folks milling around waiting for their time slot arrival. But liked you video as a first timer there is very informative 😊

    Thank you so much. The Moorish Castle is not that far from Pena Palace. If you decide to walk to the castle, make sure you walk through Pena Palace Gardens on your way to the Moorish Castle as you saw in the video. It is a beautiful walk. The climb is not that difficult. Enjoy your trip!

    Thanks! I see to get nice images of the Pena Palace from the Moorish Fortress, I need a telephoto lens, and I'm not going to bring this on our trip, so there's no reason for us going there. I would too need a couple of days, to get the images I wanted. Inside the Pena Palace I could probably pick out nice details with my 27 mm aps-c lens, but it will all be too much a hustle. Better to spend our few days in Lisbon, in Lisbon!

    I walked back to the old town and then took the bus to the train station. Tuk tuk is available everywhere in that area.
