In this episode we take a day trip to Sintra, a magical town where colorful palaces rise above misty hills and cobblestone streets lead to hidden gardens and ancient castles. We cover how to get to Sintra from Lisbon, views you have to see to believe, historic attractions you can’t miss, and how to use Sintra’s 24 Hour Bus Pass to make getting around the city easier.
