If you wanna go and see the fairytale castle in Sintra – which is really nice to visit – make sure you go there by car or by cab/taxi because it is a long and steep walk up the hills. And it takes probably up to an hour if you prefer to walk!!! For people with a small budget, there is also a bus station.

On Mondays almost all museums, castles etc. are closed in Portugal, so don’t go there on Monday if you wanna visit the castle.
