Arriving June 23 and departing for Lisbon June 26, so 2 full days in Sintra.
I have booked a VRBO with a lovely garden area and shared swimming pool. We plan to visit:
Quinta del Regaleria
Palace of Pena
Castelos dos Mouros
Sintra National Palace
Any other things we should see and do? Any restaurants or local shops that you loved? We are probably fine with just this, but I don't want to miss anything wonderful
Hi Nickelini,
My daughter and I enjoyed our visit to the Palace of Monserrate.
It’s a bit out of the way but you can get there by public bus, or taxi.
You can find more information here:

Our favorite restaurant in Sintra is
Incomum We went there twice during our 3 night visit to Sintra.
Reservations highly recommended.
Here is a link to our trip report if you’re interested:Portugal! Our trip in progress…
PLEASE NOTE: Our trip took place in May/June of 2019 so some information may be dated.
Wishing you a wonderful trip!
Edited to add…
I forgot to give you a couple of helpful websites. .
- If you decide to travel to Sintra by train, you may want to buy the Navegante occasional card ( formerly known as Viva Viagem)
We really liked visiting the Palace of Montserrate and gardens. Dinner at A Raposa was wonderful.
Awesome information. Obrigada
