Montserrate Palacio is one of the Sintra attractions, but it was one of my favorite! The palace is and the design is so intricate. These were also my favorite gardens; I lost track of time and almost missed the last bus back to town!

Bring a book, hang out on a bench for a while, and watch the roaming people and . Yes, I said peacocks. on Mondays, but you need to reserve your ticket ahead of time, and there is a €1 processing fee. Still a steal.
