Is a holiday rental in Sintra worth it?

Sintra is a fairy-tale masterpiece of extravagant palaces, enchanted gardens, and mystical forests, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Located just 30 kilometers west of Lisbon, some of the most extraordinary buildings in Europe crown the fog-covered hills of the Serra de Sintra. The Palácio Nacional da Pena, a colorful castle in red, yellow, and violet, combines Moorish, Gothic, and Manueline styles into an architectural unique, often referred to as the Neuschwanstein of Portugal.
The Quinta da Regaleira fascinates with its mysterious initiation well — a 27-meter deep spiral staircase that leads into the earth and is permeated with Masonic symbolism. Underground tunnels connect the well with grottos and an artificial lake. The Palácio Nacional in the city center, with its two distinctive chimneys, was the summer residence of Portuguese kings for centuries.
The Castelo dos Mouros, a Moorish fortress ruin from the 8th century, offers breathtaking views over Sintra to the Atlantic from its ramparts. The region is famous for its Queijadas and Travesseiros — traditional pastries best tasted at the historic bakery Piriquita. Sintra is perfectly explored as a day trip from Lisbon, but those wishing to visit all the palaces and the nearby Cabo da Roca — the westernmost point of Europe — should plan for at least two days.
