When you find yourself in Lisbon -- and you should -- someday -- it's beautiful, it's friendly, it's affordable -- the best day trip to take is to take the train to Sintra, about an hour west of Lisbon in the cool green mountains near the Atlantic. Just don't do what I did and go on a Monday.
Everything in Lisbon is closed on segunda-feira. Everything in Sintra is open. So every Lisbon tourist has the exact same idea: head out to Sintra that day of the week. So Sintra is mobbed. Today's Phot-o' the Day is from that "packed to the gills" visit to Sintra. This is the main entrance to the Monserrate Palace. The ticket office to be precise.
Visited September 2017.
