Umm but what happened in Sintra..

Seriously what happened in Sintra! So we decided to drive to Sintra and we reached in 30mins but the parking, oh lord. There is no parking by the Pena Palace for private cars. You either reach there by Bus or tourist cars which are allowed to park by the palace.

We drove about 3miles from Pena Palace and we were lucky to find a guy who run Pick/Drop service from Pena palace for 20 EUR per person. He has a parking lot where we parked our car. He drove us to the palace and was kind to give us a little tour too.

Fun Fact - He showed us "Chalet Biester" which is an empty palace and available to buy. Apparently Johnny Depp's movie "The Ninth Gate" was shot in that particular palace.

We took a 20mins driving tour and then reached to Pena Palace. The palace is really beautiful and the views are to die for. You need about 45mins to cover the entire palace.

This Palace also has a great Terrace cafe. We enjoyed a Sandwich and Coffee at this Terrace. We had a great time.

You can see the gorgeous view from the terrace. It was very serene. We enjoyed our light lunch and hung out here for a while.

Cabo da Roca

After the palace, we drove to Cabo da Roca, it is the Westernmost point of mainland Portugal and Continental Europe. The point is beautiful and you can take a walk around the area.

We really wanted to see Quinta da Regaleira but we just ran out of time a bit. We will definitely go back there next time. A good tip - A lot of people try to combine Sintra and Cascais together. There is so much to do in Sintra, that my suggestion would be to keep it separate unless you are time-pressed and must cover both the places.
