#EuropeanTravel 📍Location: Largo Rainha Dona Amélia, 2710-616 Sintra, Portugal I think it took about 15 minutes on foot from Villa Regaleira. There was no waiting line, so it was easy to enter, and I paid 9 euros by card after presenting the Lisboa Card. There was only one path to see, so it was good that I could see the whole route without getting lost. I think it would be enough to set aside about 30 minutes to 1 hour to see it. There weren't many people inside, so I was able to see it very leisurely! There was a market like a Christmas market in front of the Sintra Palace, so I was able to get a snack. The view of Sintra from the Sintra Palace was so pretty!
