A Magical Day Trip to Sintra, Portugal

They say the best way to get to know Portugal is by car. When pressed for time, day-tripping from Lisbon is a practical alternative to road tripping. There are districts outside of the city, such as Sintra, which make you feel as if you’ve been transported to a different world altogether. Sintra is home to a fairytale palace that sits on a hill above the pine trees. Rumor has it that even
