Take A Tour Of This Magnificent Royal Palace in Sintra, Portugal
The Palace in Sintra, Portugal was once the summer vacation home for the Royal Family. Perched atop a mountain with views to the ocean this magnificent abode is quite the harrowing adventure if driving yourself, but definitely worth the hassel. Follow up your adventure to the palace with dinner along the coast in Cascais, a favorite of Lisboetas.
