Travels, hikes and trips

Many have fallen in love with Sintra over the centuries, and in the eighteenth century, Lord Byron declared that the town was "perhaps in every respect the most delightful in Europe". Robert Southey declared it to be "the most blessed spot on the whole inhabitable globe".

There are a number of museums in and around Sintra. The Sintra Museum of Modern Art houses art by such notable artists as Picasso, Lichtenstein, Miro and Andy Warhol.
