Parques de Sintra-Monte da Lua (PSML)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The palace is nothing short of amazing and breathtaking. The most beautiful one in the area, in my opinion. Take a walk around the gardens for a relaxing experience. The entrance and exit are on a somewhat steep hill, so be aware and wear comfortable shoes.

Gardens of Parque da Pena
Park
👍👍 the parks of the pena palace is so much more worth than the castle itself. save half the price of the ticket (park only 7.5 € instead of 14 € combined, 2018), and you can still visit the courtyards and terraces of the palace (you only miss the inside rooms) and have the views without the 30-60 min q...

St. Martin Church
Catholic church
😠 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.

Poço Imperfeito
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Moim zdaniem najlepsza atrakcją jest ogród, studnia i jaskinie. Pałac jest mały. Bardzo miło się tam spaceruje i aż chciałoby się spędzić tam parę godzin wśród pięknej zieleni. Uwaga autobus jadący na dworzec kolejowy jedzie około 1h, zdecydowanie lepiej przejść się 1,5km nie warto na niego czekać.

Ruínas da Capela de Monserrate
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Given that they are not actual ruins but fake ones that the nobility got built back in the day to do their 'hide and seek' games in, they look astonishingly real! Lots of photo opportunities here, make sure to bring some costumes for some baroque cos play.
