Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra

This place is absolutely stunning- like out of a fairytale. I’ve been several times and every time I see something new and still get the same feeling of amazement. It maybe easiest to get tickets in advance because the line is long. Also, I want to point out how lovely the woman that runs the gift shop is. She was such a pleasant and positive person to speak with, and all the gifts are beautiful.

Our favourite place in Sintra (we also went to the Moorish Castle and Pena palace). Easy to get to and can spend hours there, such a beautiful space to explore, with a spooky (in a fun way) history. Felt a bit magical / fairytale-like with all the winding towers and hidden wells and caves. There is also a cafe and toilets (these weren't the nicest but did the job).
