Most beautiful places to visit in Portugal
If you like long walks and magnificent landscapes, a vacation in this place is a perfect choice...
Not everything is known about Portugal. However, this is a beautiful country that is really worth visiting because of many things... Just half an hour from the Portuguese capital Lisbon, on beautiful sandy beaches you can enjoy the endless blue expanse of the Atlantic ocean. The picturesque city of Estoril is known for its Formula 1 races and the largest casino in Europe (which was the inspiration for the creator of James Bond to write the famous novel "Casino Royale"), but surely the biggest attraction is swimming in the ocean. Given that the average summer water temperature is 18 ° C, it is clear why many tourists choose only the "cooling" option, i.e. standing in the water up to your knees, however, whoever bravely "dives" into the ocean, remembers that feeling all his life!
A fairytale castle
Pena Palace, located in the town of Sintra, is built on a cliff, on top of a hill and emerges from a green dense forest. Pena is the oldest palace of European romanticism and you will feel like in a fairy tale. There is no need to describe much, pictures speak more than a thousand words. If you are already in Sintra, be sure to visit the remains of the Moorish castle from the 8th century, where, when you climb, you feel like you are on top of the world, as well as the palace of the rich alchemist Antonio Monteiro with unusual underground labyrinths.
