    It is only my opinion but by all means try it , it is always empty so getting a table is easy, I think it's space could be better used,me and my wife really couldn't see what the fuss was With this sushi as we found it quite tasteless

    Lisbon and-canaries cruise

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    (continued)

     

     

     

    - Sintra -

     

     

     

    Pros: gorgeous, lush, palaces and gardens in abundance

     

    Cons: very spread out, farthest from the city center, uphill both ways (only half joking ;p)

     

    How to get there: suburban train, taxi. There is a bus that starts at the Sintra train station and does a circuit stopping at (almost) all these monuments, ending back at the train station. It gets pretty packed and the steep hills are not for the faint of heart!

     

     

     

    Info about all of these at http://www.parquesdesintra.pt/en/parks-and-monuments/

     

     

     

    Palácio Nacional de Sintra - 1000 year old royal palace, right in the village center.

     

     

     

    Castelo dos Mouros - Moorish castle. Up hill.

     

     

     

    Palácio da Pena - Pena palace, gorgeous romantic palace on the top of a steep hill. Amazing views all the way to the sea if the weather is cooperating.

     

     

     

    Quinta da Regaleira - what do you do when you're rich and eccentric? You build Quinta da Regaleira. If you've ever seen this picture, that's at Quinta da Regaleira. View_down_the_Well.jpg

     

    More info at: http://www.regaleira.pt/

     

     

     

    Piriquita - pastry shop selling traditional Sintra pastries called queijadas and travesseiros. It's uphill of course (but that burns calories, so you can have another pastry) More info at: https://www.piriquita.pt/?lang=en

     

     

     

    - Cascais -

     

     

     

    Pros: used to be a quaint fishing village, now it is a posh address for people of means. Nice beach and delicious italian ice creams at Santini

     

    Cons: not as much to see as Belém or Sintra. Still lovely though!

     

    How to get there: suburban train, taxi

     

     

     

    I actually don't have much to say about Cascais. It has a fortress, the beach, a marina... It is a good place to relax and enjoy the view. Do not miss the delicious ice cream at Santini! That said, there is a Santini shop in the center of Lisbon...

     

     

     

    I'm sure I forgot about a ton of other interesting things. But feel free to ask if you have any questions!

     

     

     

    That's for your very detailed reply great thanks. Hope you enjoyed writing it as I did reading it many thanks
