Fairytale land

On my trip to Portugal I met up with Soph! We spent the weekend there and decided to take a day trip to Sintra. That was definitely the best decision we could've made. Sintra just might be my favorite destination of this trip (other than Florence of course.) Sintra was full of castles and palaces. We spent most of the day hiking between them. Ended the day with almost 30,000 steps through the woods and up a bunch of hills to see it all. Our other option was to take a bus between everything but were on a budget. It ended up being such a good choice the forest and hiking was absolutely beautiful and much needed after spending so much time in the city. My favorite building we saw was the Moorish Castle. The complex was all medieval and the palace was massive. It looked like something you would find in a medieval story book. We got to walk through the whole castle and gardens surrounding and we spend over an hour exploring. The view was incredible over Sintra, the ocean, and the other castles surrounding. The Pena Palace was probably the most famous building in Sintra, but we decided to hike to a view point instead of paying to get inside. It was so worth it and such a cool view of the red and yellow castle. I wish I could live in that forest because the green was just amazing. Hope you like the pics!Læs mere
