Spending Valentine’s Day in Sintra is a call for romance thanks to its mesmerizing landscapes, palaces, hotels and fine dining restaurants.
Just imagine for a second going hand-in-hand with your partner through the narrow streets of the village of Sintra, surrounded by a lush mountain.
Spending this romantic day in Sintra means to spend a memorable time in Pena Palace and the beautiful Pena Park, where a horse-drawn carriage awaits for you two lovebirds.
After the romance inspired by Pena Palace, it’s time to bring some mystery, meaning it’s time to visit the enigmatic Regaleira Palace.
The venue is imbued with symbols used by the Masonry, the Rosicrucian and the Knights Templar and presents Gothic and Renaissance traces.
However, what makes this venue unique are the lush caves, gardens, lakes and buildings spread around the property.
Obviously, Valentine’s Day reaches its peak at night, with a romantic dinner. And once more, Sintra has the best choices.
Ealuxe recommends Azenhas do Mar restaurant, a venue that combines excellent food with breathtaking views over the ocean.
