Porto - Sintra

We had one night spare before we dropped the car back in Lisbon, so we decided to head back to the mystical town of Sintra and took the day to stop at some gorgeous wee towns along the way.

📍 Aveiro - known as the Venice of Portugal, not sure I’d quite agree but definitely a cute stop!
📍 Costa Nova - charming fishing village with cool striped colourful houses
📍 Coimbra - oldest university in Europe, the library is worth doing

Driving the back streets and towns on this route is a must!

Our last minute Air BnB booking in Sintra was an absolute win! Would definitely recommend the boutique hotel, La Quinta Dos Lobos. We had the most gorgeous sunset from our room with some delish local wine gifted by the hotel. 😋 The perfect end to our Portugal road trip. We absolutely LOVED it and will definitely be back!

Earlyish start, quick garden sweat and we were off to Lisbon to fly to Balcelonaaaaaaa for the F1!Read more
