Sintra is two palaces. Walking tour

I'll meet you at Sintra Station. This is the final stop of the train, which departs from Lisbon from Rossio Station. And immediately behind the threshold begins a tour of the city-museum, the romantic city of Sintra.

We will visit the once Royal and now the National Palace of Sintra. Balls were held here, passions were boiling. The Hall of Swans and the Room of Magpies - each has its own story, its own charm. The unique Portuguese Manueline style and high fireplaces of the palace, which have become the hallmark of the city, will not allow you to pass by. After wandering through the streets of the city, having tasted the cherry liqueur "jinzhu", eating local sweets, we will go further, to the Manor of Regaleira, a place over which the spirit of mysticism ... romanticism ... and the beauty of nature is fascinating. Manor, where you can wander for hours: underground passages, waterfalls, tunnels and the famous well in the form of an inverted tower. You won't find him right away. A ladder winds along the walls of the well. Half-darkness, silence, mystery - a real find for a person interested in the history of religion and occultism, who is interested in alchemy and esotericism should see the fruit of the imagination of millionaire Antonio Carvalho Monteiro.

After the tour you can have lunch at one of the many restaurants. Or continue exploring other interesting places in Sintra.
