Best places: Things to dos in Colares, Portugal

Tours of an Alpine chalet–inspired 19th-century house & gardens, built by King Fernando II.

👍👍 This beach is between Praia Grande and Praia das Macas. Access is easy but it is not a guarded beach. Good for surfing and one of the few beaches dogs can take during the bathing season. Depending on the years, at high tide you can almost run out of sand. Scenographically very beautiful, especially...

19th-century, Romanticist palace on a high rock & former monastery site, surrounded by parkland.

The local scenery was incorporated into the physical architecture of this compact Medieval convent.

😠 Please don’t waste your time or money. $30 for 4 people to taste half a glass of wine each. Very poor service and explanation. We tasted a €5 wine that was dismal at best. Do yourself a great favor and go somewhere else that produces respectable wine…..

Verdant town park with ambling nature paths, rustic picnic tables & a variety of aromatic plants.

😠 The only good thing is that it's free you just give donation if you want. You'll have a 'guide' following you and telling some boring stuff about sculptures. You cant just go and walk around. Then you'll be taken to the view point where you can't really see anything just a tiny bit of the castle.

Famous journalists & the ways they told stories are the twin concentrations at this modern museum.

👍👍 Conjunto composto por uma torre, dois torreões e um balcão assentados num patamar conhecido como Jardim da Perpétua (um gramado por onde se espalham espécies exóticas e com uma convidativa pérgula). As pessoas diziam que a vista do alto dessa torre era tão bonita que representava um verdadeiro rega...

👍👍 The view is beautiful. It can be reached by walking or by car. Tip if you go by car, choose to go very close to Adraga beach and take the trail from there. It will be easier.

👍👍 Amazing decor, food and atmosphere. Best place for a leisure vegan and gluten free chef breakfast or lunch set in beautiful art gallery. I loved the attention to small details as the tables, ceramic, design and chef detailed food.

👍👍 It is an extensive and enigmatic system of tunnels, which have multiple entry points that include: caves, the chapel, the waterfall lake, and the "Leda Cave", which is located under the Regaleira Tower. It is like being, suddenly, in another world!.

👍👍 A beach stuck between cliffs that can only be accessed at low tide, and not at all, and not every year, because sometimes the sea has shaved the sand. It is the small hiding place on the side of Adraga, a tiny sand that even the sun has difficulty in illuminating. The most daring ones may be able t...

Small waterfall & natural spring with a stone platform & rest area on a wooded roadside.

👍 Belíssima zona de caminhadas, principalmente o Trilho das Pontes. Percurso de grande beleza natural que cruza dezenas de vezes os pequenos ribeiros que alimentam a barragem.

👍👍 This place is awesome. The experiments are pretty fun, especially the giroscope. Highly recommend.

😠 The website does not indicate that the museum closes for lunch. The children and I came and were asked to leave. Okay, we decided to wait. But at the indicated time the door was not opened for us. We waited another 15 minutes. As a result, I began to knock on the door with my fist. We missed the tr...

👍👍 Lagoon inserted in the interior of the Sintra mountain range. In a quiet place where only pure air and the natural “noise” of the fauna and flora prevail in a forest with the characteristics of Sintra. Very nice place for hiking, biking, enjoying nature. Some turtles can be seen in the lake.

👍👍 It was incredible seeing the dinosaur footprints in the wild, one can easily spot tridactyl footprints, just keep an eye out. the indentations are estimated to be 120 million years old, and the reason these are vertical is because of an eruption 89 million years ago. The stairs from the beach were...
