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.

Miradouro de Santa Eufémia
Park
👍👍 For sure one of the best spots in Lisbon and the closer area to watch the SUNRISE. Beautiful location on the top of the mountain. Right next to a small church. Very quiet. In the middle of nature. And you have a full 270° view. There’s no cafés or anything up here. So make sure to bring some tea or...

👍 You can find whatever you need to develop your work as an artist here. From many different brands of coloring pencils to every brand of sketching books, and the staff there are very polite, caring and professional. Despite all of that, I won't give them a 5 star evaluation because they don't have an...

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.

Lagoa dos Mosqueiros
Hiking area
👍👍 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.
