- Your must day trip from Lisbon: seductive, sylvan Sintra was the favorite summertime escape for royals. To Pena Palace by bus, then shuttle, it's up, up and away to Fantasyland! There's so much to enjoy that an overnight stay would extend your delight of palaces and forest greenery.

- Lord Byron called this small town "Glorious Eden" back in the early 1800s and I think he'd feel the same today. Although very touristy, it is Portugal at its prettiest.

- Medieval or Modern? Which ever you prefer, you'll find with convenient, inexpensive day-trips from Portugal's capital. Sintra, Queluz, Obidos and Nazare are steeped in culture and history while the coastal resort villages of Estoril and Cascais keep an upscale pace catering to the rich and famous.

- What a fabulous place. The BEST day out from Lisbon teeming with sights - and a possible extension to it for yet more.

- Sintra and its palaces were the highlight of my trip to Portugal. The city is located on the mountains, just 1 1/2h by train from Lisbon's Rossio station.
