This may be one of my favorite places you have ever visited! The magical mountain village setting, the lush and varied greenery, the historic Moorish architecture and stunning tiles and bright colors- I could spend months there just absorbing it all.Had never heard of Sintra before so it was wonderful to experience it.I love Portugal!
Ola Chris & Carol! This is the video that I will send to my hubby on Sintra. I'm gonna have to up my workouts to be able to hike the beautiful paths. I have until November to get it together! I can not wait to visit Portugal & Spain for the first time. -Michell
The Palaces of Sintra are dreamy and beautiful, and I didn't expect to be so well preserved; That chocolate cup is very attractive, I really want to have a cup, cannot wait for the next video. You did a really great job, thanks for sharing！👍😄👏 辛特拉的宮殿很夢幻，很漂亮，沒想到可以保存得那麼好； 那個巧克力杯很吸引人，好想來一杯，期待下一集，謝謝！
Palácio da Vila (the one with the big chimneys) and Palácio da Pena had big restoration works quite recently, that's why they look so new. They are uniqueand the place itself is magical. By the way, the little chocolate cup is filled with "ginginha", a cherry liqueur much appreciated with the final touch of eating the chocolate cup. It's a heavenly conbination!
Sintra is so special to me as I was fortunate enough to spend 20 days there, each year, at Summercamp, ages 6-12; all paid for by one of my parent's employer (otherwise wouldn't have happened). Every morning after breakfast, we would descend and ascend 365 steps along the high cliffs, where there are footprints of dinosaurs to this day, to get to Praia Grande. I simply have no words to describe the nostalgia and beautiful memories your video brought back to me. When I lived in 🇵🇹 before moving to 🇨🇦, I lived approx. 20 minutes away from Sintra. When I meditate and go to 'my happy place', this is where my mind goes. Although I was there many, many times, I never saw an aerial view as beautiful as yours. No wonder Sintra was declared a UNESCO Word Heritage site! Keep enjoying life, beautiful couple!
Awesome place. Was there in December and it was super foggy, actually added to the experience and made it feel really magical when walking through the forest areas. Loved everything about Portugal, would love to visit again.
Nice to see you back in Portugal. You missed Quinta da Regaleira and Monserrat Palace. You have to go back to Sintra (Lord Byron "Glorious Eden") to visit both, specially Quinta da Regaleira with all the masonic simbology including the spiral Iniciatic well. D. Fernando II (Ferdinand Sax-Coburg Von Gotha) was a Bavarian prince that married the portuguese Queen. When she died he become King with the name Fernando II. The Pena Palace is like the bavarian palaces from the mad King Ludwig II, like the Neuschwanstein Palace (model for Disney castles).
I live 5 min from Sintra, it really is a magical place and you visited like 10% of it....there so much more hidden magical places, gardens, forests, lakes, rivers, creeks, waterfalls, mountain tops with amazing views including views of endless sea, beautifull beaches surrounded by clifs, hidden bars, bistros, efc...more e more to see in Sintra! At least the next time you go to Sintra, go visit "Quinta da Regaleira"..it is magical...and it is about 20 min from the train station by foot! You can also go to "Cabo da Roca"...amazing mountains and view from endless sea...particulary beautiful at sunset! To go there you have the bus, that you can catch right there at the train station of Sintra. A lot to explore in Sintra! Sorry for my poor english😅 I am portuguese 🇵🇹 and i welcome you guys 👍🏻 have fun
Hello, I will visit Portugal for vacation in mid March. Is there many tourists then already? Also, what is the best way to get around fast in Sintra? I only have 1 day in Sintra, but I would like to see Pena Palace and especially Quinta da Regaleira. If I visit these two sights, I probably will not have time for Moorish Castle Walls?
Wow are you guys in Portugal now? I am in Lisbon as well. Loving it here and so glad to be in this great city! I am staying in the Marques do Pombal area near the Eduardo 7th park. It really is magical. I am going to get back to your video now. I couldn't wait to write a comment.
Portugal is my country, a small and pacific country with a big history and culture. Welcome to every people who wants to visit Portugal, respect the place and you will be respected too.
Sounds like my kind of town, wonder around sipping on port and chocolate, yam. The palaces are just stunning as are the gardens. Putting it on my list of things to see.
This video on Sintra is the best I have ever seen and I`ve seen a fair number. You do your homework on all your videos and I appreciate that. A super couple - Definitely !!
I just started watching your videos and I absolutely love them. You are so respectful to Carol and both of you are so calm and enjoyable to watch. That's what makes it so interesting. I feel as though I am right there with you. Your scene shots are wonderful and breathtaking. I also like how you give lots of information on everything. You're making me feel young again!
Hey you've finally made it to my hometown! So pleased as I asked you so many times....😊 Yes you do need to go back as there is also the "Regaleira Palace" you were so close to it when you showed all the leaves in a small courtyard. The garden has an inverted well which is amazing! Another palace to visit is Monserrate Palace. Their gardens are all stunning! Obviously better to visit in the spring as there will be very rare and beautiful plants/flowers. Very pleased to see you again and thank you for the lovely video. 😊👍
Beautiful portugal my family is from.algarve portimao I know almost all places madeira azores and cape verde too toplus amizades mundiais toplus idiomas ecoflower project in rio de janeiro brazil
Thanks for this comprehensive video of Sintra. It is the 1st place on my tour list. I am flying out to Lisbon on Friday, it's been 2 years of waiting - thanks to Covid!
Hiya, thank you for the lovely tour around. The castle walk is pretty. You got to be skinny to walk there.😅🤗 Forever learning watching your travels. Beautiful buildings. Amazing architecture. Beautiful. Love you longer videos. So relaxing. Good vibes. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.
It is interesting you climbed all the way up. I am planning to take a bus to Pena Palace, then walk to Moorish castle and walk down to Sintra centre ..
Wonderful place!! .. and the most important - nice and warm .. you don't have to travel to Caribbean to feel yourself as a human being and not a snowman in February .. Portugal is just perfect!
Been subscribed for a while but this is first time comment. Realy like your vds. Always great content and informative. Thanks for shareing what you love doing with respect, grace and love. From an English couple in Morocco. 👋
Love the Portuguese architecture and arabic design. Thanks for sharing. I did visit Mallaca in Malaysia and it was also portugese style. Macao near HK I heard also has portugese inspired architecture. 💕 Interesting to know about the painting used then. Quite amazing.
Macau was Portuguese until in 1987 a Portuguese president named Mario Soares (already dead) gave Macau to China without anyone knowing. It was a shock to all the Portuguese people who still don't understand why he did it.
Só agora é que reparei que vocês são parcialmente brasileiros. Assim sendo, sejam de novo bem-vindos a Portugal! Abraços!!! Sintra sempre merece uma visita. ;)
Hi u guys thanks for sharing that beautiful video it’s much appreciated!! Portugal is a very beautiful country, I’ve been there many years ago , Lisbon is very beautiful! Stay safe always god bless the both of you!!! 🙏♥️🌹
Great video! I’ve seen a few from Sinatra but you really captured so much more than the others. Most just show Peña Palace and the Moorish one. Appreciate all you showed inside the palace , walking around the town , drone shots and so much more. I also appreciate that you always include prices so thank you.
thank you guys It makes me feel lovely seen my contry sit at home in Scotland you most come here visit this contry you go like you are ready for cold 😂😂😂😘
I have followed you guys for a long time and always love your videos! It's nice to see you in Portugal as we are visiting here too. Sintra is a stop that is on our list and now we realize that a day there will not be enough. Will you be heading to many other parts in Portugal?
Hey! You're back in Portugal. That's when we found you and started subscribing. You do a great job of balancing info about the locations, about yourselves, beauty and relaxing energy. Super well done channel. Here's a suggestion for a video someday when you need content but may not have any. You did this before but I think you could touch on it again. The topic; how the hell do you get such great footage with just a gopro? Questions- (not to answer here but maybe in a future video.) Which gopro do you have? What are your settings? Do you zoom in editing somehow? The gopro itself shoots pretty wide. For the audio is it only the gopro mic? Etc, etc. I have a gopro and am envious at what you create. You make it look easy, but I'm sure it's not. Seriously... good work and thanks!
That was stunning thanks for sharing if you ever get a chance you must visit Madeira island it’s a spectacular island filled with soooo much to do the weather is always warm all year round tropical and the nature is beautiful especially for you guys that appreciate natural beauty
Nice to see you back in our beautiful Portugal:) Beautiful video!was there a few years ago,loved it. Aproveitem bêm esses dias e continuem com os vossos lindos videos 🤗
Beautiful, and my favorite shot is when the Arabic/Beijing tiles took up my whole screen (edited: at 5:34), just gorgeous artistic tiles _ Great idea to capture it like you did Chris. . . :>/
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

That was a very nice comment, thank you! Sintra is very beautiful and picturesque. I'm so proud to have it as my hometown.
Ah, Portugal definately one of the friendliest countries in Europe, and some of the best food and wine as well.

Sintra is magical, been there man times. Something about that place even in the most remote areas is so gorgeous.
That liquor in a chocolate looks delicious at the same time gives you a bit of a buzz. Love port. 😊
Portugal... Bucket listed!

O melhor para mim,é a Quinta da Regaleira! Vale a pena visitar,é um lugar incrível!!
I agree. I only saw that one and spent the whole day there... absolutely brilliant
40 lat temu zwiedzałam Portugalię..byłam w Sintra- pięknie przedstawione przez Was miasto .Dziękuję za przypomnienie. Pozdrawiam z Polski.
Dziękuję bardzo! Mam nadzieję, że spodobała Wam się wizyta w Sintrze! Pozdrawiamy z Portugalii i czekamy na następną wizytę! :)

Beautiful colors of the castles
Loved your Portugal Series. Because of you we have visited the Algarve and had so much fun there.
I love to settle in Lisbon, Portugal
Nice vlog. Most of the people speak perfect English. I feel Zen when I'm in Portugal.
I thank you for so many details on the local ground in Sintra. It's really helped to my research on the next trip in September.
For me, this huge park or garden below the palace was the most impressive. I have not seen such magical plants anywhere else in Portugal.
Hey you've finally made it to my hometown! So pleased as I asked you so many times....😊
Yes you do need to go back as there is also the "Regaleira Palace" you were so close to it when you showed all the leaves in a small courtyard. The garden has an inverted well which is amazing!

Perfect timing for touring in Pena castle for you, no crowd. We were there last week of Dec 2021, people were on holidays so families were there.
Quinta da Regaleira, this may be the garden you mentioned, check it out. This is the one I'm going to Sintra to see. 🙂

Except for the ocean temperatures. But you can always visit the Azores and Madeira to get good water temperatures.

Great to see you back in Portugal. Did all your hiking in Patagonia prepare you for Sintra?
Your sweater matched the colors of the palace 😊
What a phenomenal video! I feel as if I have been to Sintra today! :)

Been to Sinatra twice. Love it
I'm very happy you liked our country 😊
Love that tile design at 19:31, it’s impressive!!!

Bem-vindos! Glad to see you here. Greetings from Aveiro!
Nice video guys! Just one note: The tuc -tucs are not typical from Portugal, they just start to arrive about 5 years ago.
Have been to Sintra, it is really a magical place! Didn't go inside the Pena Palace though, but the exterior, views and gardens were amazing.
Do you still have to pay if you are just going to the exterior and garden of the palace?
@@ms.alexis_15 It was some years ago I visited but from what I remember, yes.
