Highlights - Meander through a picture-postcard village - Surround yourself with rich history and stunning Palaces - Discover the magnificent Portuguese 'Riviera' coastline This little heaven on earth is located just outside Lisbon.

And indeed, its natural splendour and exuberance do seem to have some other-worldly quality to them. The moment you arrive you will easily realise why people like Hans Christian Andersen and Gloria Swanson were thrilled by the magic and mystique that emanate from the palaces, villas and estates of this charming village. The Sintra National Palace is the single best-preserved medieval palace in the country.
