Two way to go there is by walking taken about 15 to 20 mins and a golf car. I preferred to walk because can stop at views point look down to the town oh my goodness what! a stunning views. Do nit believe me alleast you see by own eyes!.#penapalace"Sao Pedro de Penaferrim23km from LisbonHighlights: Pena Palace is the king's departure palace, its dazzling, peculiar, pretentious figure looks like a paradise castle. The palace itself is a hodgepodge of various architectural styles, including Gothic, Renaissance, Moorish, and Manueline (Manueline, the architectural style of the reign of King Nuel I of Portugal). The brainchild of Ferdinandofsaxe-Coburg-Gotha, husband of Queen Maria II. It is not only a national monument of Portugal, but also one of the seven wonders of Portugal. It is located on the top of a hill in the São Pedro de Penaferrim in Sintra, near Lisbon. It is clearly visible in the city of Lisbon in clear weather. In 1995, it was selected as a World Heritage Site as part of Sintra's Cultural Landscape. It is now frequently used for state activities by the President of Portugal and other government officials. In the Middle Ages, it was only a chapel of Our Lady. In 1493, Joao II and his wife came here for a pilgrimage. His successor, Manuel I, built the monastery. In 1755, the monastery was razed to the ground in the Lisbon earthquake. From 1842 to 1854, great efforts were spent to build the royal summer palace. The architect was Baron von Eschwege, a German, and was finally completed in 1885.Show Less - 7.84.6/5343 ReviewFree"I really don’t need to listen to everyone toss by train and bus. Since I go so far to play, do I care about the taxi money at that point? Everyone said right. My husband took a taxi directly from Lisbon to this. I spent 13 euros. I will regret it for a lifetime."Colares31.9km from LisbonHighlights: Cape Roca is about 40 kilometers from Lisbon, located in the west of Sintra in the Lisbon district, and belongs to the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. It is a narrow cliff about 140 meters above sea level at the western tip of Portugal, once considered the end of the world. Compared with other coasts, Cape Roca is indeed different. The steep cliffs are like lonely arms reaching out to the vast Atlantic Ocean. When you look down, you can see the vertical towering cliffs. Walking on them is like walking to the horizon. The sea and sky are the same color, and the scenery is magnificent It is wide open, and you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset views here. Guardrails are built around the cliffs to prevent accidents for visitors.Show Less

based on 13933 reviews"Quinta da Regaleira is one of the best sightseeing spot in Sintra . we went there and really enjoyed the architecture as its built very beautifully…"Sao Martinho23.7km from LisbonHighlights: Located near the historic center of Sintra in Portugal, the Regaleira Estate is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Sintra Cultural Landscape and is one of Sintra's main tourist attractions. The Regaleira estate includes the romantic Regaleira Palace, the Regaleira Chapel, and a sumptuous park with lakes, caves, wells, benches, fountains and a wide variety of exquisite buildings. The estate is also known as the "Millionaire Monteiro's Palace," after the nickname of the first owner. There is a small curved city wall in the middle of the manor. There are many sacred objects carved on the city wall. When you walk into the city wall, you will see a dry well with a depth of 27 meters when you pass through a cave that is more than ten meters long. The exit at the end of the cave is just right. In the middle of the well, a spiral staircase surrounds the well, with 9 spiral layers, symbolizing the 9 cycles of heaven, hell and purgatory described by Dante. Along the spiral staircase, you can walk from the bottom of the well to the wellhead. Outside the wellhead is a garden, a world of flowers.Show Less - 7.24.6/590 ReviewFree
based on 4930 reviews"Tickets are three euros, time January 23, 2023, Porto is more famous church, visit the Douro River to turn here, originally did not plan to come, pass by and go in to see, hundreds of years of religious places, no this faith, feel, visit, understand the world multicultural, It feels similar to the Macau church."Porto>100km from LisbonHighlights: The Cathedral of Porto, located on the prominent hills of Porto, is one of the ancient monuments of the city. The overall architectural structure of the church presents a mix of Gothic and Baroque styles. The front ornate rose window and gate and the main altar itself are purely late Baroque. The elegant Gothic cloister inside is a refreshing experience. The church, which has existed as a city landmark for nearly a thousand years, was built around 1110 and took a century to construct. There are still many exquisite architectural features that are intriguing to this day. The square bell towers on both sides of the church are unusual because the facade decoration is almost empty, and the zigzag structure at the top makes it seem to incorporate some architectural elements of the castle. In addition, there are many pleasing blue flower tile murals inside the church, which is also a major feature of Portuguese architecture.Show Less - 6.84.4/572 ReviewFrom18.77based on 17906 reviews"A truly lovely experience! You can enter the bookstore every 30minutes and you can buy a ticket for 8€ via their online booking QR code. The attendants inside are very knowledgeable and helpful and they have a selection in a few languages including English, French, Portuguese etc. The 8€ ticket is also a discount on a book so it’s a lovely memento from the bookstore. I highly recommend this bookstore as a must see, especially in Winter when it’s not so busy!"Porto>100km from LisbonHighlights: Lello Bookstore is one of the oldest bookstores in Porto, Portugal. Its neo-Gothic façade and staircase were designed and built by architect Estevez. The top floor of the bookstore has food and wine, and books in Portuguese, English and French are everywhere. Since its opening in 1881, Lello Bookstore has attracted a large number of readers with its good design. There is a beautiful wooden staircase in the center of the bookstore, which leads to the roof. Readers can look up at the sky 360 degrees through the glass roof. The bookshelves around the stairs are filled with all kinds of good books, making the "bookworms" linger.Show Less
