Thank you for this video! I recently found your channel. My partner and I are heading to Portugal on Nov 26 and plan to do a day trip to Sintra. I've heard it isn't worth going inside the castle/palace. Well done. What was that first tropical/garden area you walked around? Did you do the Moorish Castle? or the Well? Thanks!!
Thanks for watching! We did not go inside the Palace of Pena or the Moorish Castle, so we can't comment on those. But we do feel that it was definitely worth the day trip to see the town and hike up to the Palace of Pena, even just to see the outside. The views up there were amazing! Those gardens are at Vila Sassetti, which is part of the hiking trail up to Palace of Pena. You can find the trail by following the signs in town such as the one at 2:22 in the video. We definitely recommend making the hike up to the palace if you can, that was one of the highlights of our day. We hope you have a great trip!
