Travel Itineraries: Sintra, Portugal

Western Portugal’s enviable wealth of destinations warrants an ambitious itinerary that includes something for every family member who’s lucky enough to explore it.

Part of an assignment to research and create travel itineraries
for destinations all around the world, for different types of travelers.
This installment: Sintra, Portugal. Of all the locations I wrote about, this one enchanted me the most, and I ended up visiting it in early 2020, returning home just before the pandemic shut everything down.

Head here for a three-day “Countryside Pleasures” piece, and also for a five-day “Family Fun” itinerary (which let me use the phrase “It’ll be epoch!,” so of course it’s one of my favorites).
