A picturesque little town located in the Lisbon region of Portugal, Sintra offers a spectacular setting close to the capital of Portugal. Sintra's romantic allure and a breathtaking array of parks and palaces prompted UNESCO to recognize the region as a significant influence on the growth of landscape architecture in Europe, bestowing World Heritage status on the region in 1995. Its forested landscape is studded with pastel-colored villas and palaces, making it a long-time royal retreat. Dramatic twin chimneys and intricate tilework differentiate the Moorish and Manueline-style Sintra National Palace. Pena National Palace, built on a hilltop in the nineteenth century, is renowned for its whimsical architecture and panoramic views.
