| Pena Palace, Sintra. |
Our last full day in Lisbon, we took a day trip out to the popular
tourist town of Sintra. Home to the Pena Palaca – previous residence of the
royal family – among other landmarks, you need to ensure to get there early to
beat the crowds. We didn’t follow our own advice, but we fared okay in this
regard. To get there, you must board the overland train from Restauradores
station; you might read that it’s Rossio, but the Rossio metro station is at
Rossio square, while the overland train leaves from Rossio main station...
where the Restauradores metro stop is... go figure! Tickets can be bought on the
machines or at the counter for a little over €2, and a return will be two
singles (no saving if you buy a return or buy them individually).
