Located in the Serra de Sintra hills near Lisbon, the charming town of Sintra is known for its pine trees, stunning architecture, and ancient castle ruins.

Don’t miss the viewpoint at Azenhas do Mar for panoramic views of the coastline, or visit Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe, for spectacular vistas.
