While we were in Portugal we went on a day trip to Sintra, here is our itinerary to visit this resort town in the foothills of the Mountains and a couple of coastal town in the Portuguese Riviera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Day
At the Portuguese Riviera!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We left Lisbon <\/a>early morning and drove along the scenic Atlantic coast dubbed as the Cascais Corniche to get to Sintra’s whimsical palaces and monuments. The wooded area with colorful villas and lush gardens has been a longtime sanctuary for the Portuguese royal families. Of course, we wish we had more time to linger and discover the area more but here are the highlights on what we saw on our full day in this pretty part of Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedro from The Portuguese Buddy<\/a> picked us from our hotel in Lisbon and we drove on Estrada Marginal also known as the N6(EN6, the Estrada Nacional 6) runs westwards from Lisbon to Cascais, along the banks of the Tagus river. Alternatively, you can take the A5 but you would miss out on the coastal views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
