Sintra National Palace

Sintra, which is included in the world cultural heritage, has the highest recognition and most eye-catching landmark, which belongs to the "Niujiao Palace" - Sintra Palace. The palace of Sintra, located in the center of the small town, was built in the late 14th century and the first half of the 16th century, and was a summer palace for kings from the Portuguese Republic until the establishment of the Republic in 1900. The two columns of chimneys in the palace kitchen, the chubby cone shape, like a pair of huge horns towering in the Sintra Mountains, become the landmark landscape of Sintra City, the palace also has a romantic image of the Ya-Niu horn palace. Looking from afar, surrounded by mountains, a pair of white horns directly inserted into the blue sky, and the emerald Sintra added a bit of fairy tale romance; look at it, the dark red slope top, the snow-white exterior wall, the exquisite window... The fusion art style is impressive; Standing in front of the palace, the small square looks out to the four, the rolling hillside colorful buildings dotted, the beautiful...

[Sintra Palace] I booked Trip.com's day tour product. Guide Xiao Guo is a very professional and dedicated girl, driving on the side of the road to explain the history and local culture of Portugal, let us tourists in a short time to have a preliminary understanding of Sintra. The palace is towering with two white cone-shaped chimneys, which is very characteristic. This palace is located on a lively roadside, but unexpectedly quiet and beautiful. The tourists in the palace are mostly Europeans and Americans, and I am deeply attracted by the interiors and murals on the walls. In fact, there is also a treasure of the town shop in the palace, and the Chinese architectural models are collected in the corner of the other hall (maybe made of ivory, but I can't remember it clearly). It attracts tourists from all over the world who come to visit.

Sitting at the doorsteps of the Palace enjoying cherry liquor and pastries I got from the shops opposite! very nice views with shade. Very nice day out!

Entering the exhibition hall is quite smooth. The service staff politely provides clear guidance.

From Porto to Sintra, one of the westernmost cities on the European continent, the journey was four hours. It was noon when we arrived at the small town. We found a French meal, had enough wine and food, took a short break and continued our journey. Hiking is the best choice for a small town built on the hill. Unnoticeable blue and white tiles in houses and dazzling small shops along the street reveal the past and present here quietly.
