TravelAwaits May.9.2021 Set in the hills of a pine forest bordering the Atlantic Ocean, Sintra is located just 45 minutes from Lisbon, but it’s a whole other world. Known as the Portuguese Riviera, Sintra is one of the wealthiest enclaves in Portugal, dotted with summer mansions and palaces, and also has a large expat community.  It became popularized in the 19th century when the royalty, aristocracy, and powerful elite fled the intense summer heat of Lisbon to cool off, thus building their mansions and palaces in Sintra because of the cooler temperatures and close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.  A great day or overnight trip from Lisbon, there is much to see and do in Sintra.
