Gorgeous castle over in Sintra which is about 45 min to an hour from Lisbon. It's a well known…read moretourist site and this castle is one of the biggest attractions. It gets really busy here pretty early on so make sure you arrive as the lines to enter and visit the castle can get long quickly. It's best to choose the earliest slot possible as it gets busier by the day. It's also a castle, so you should expect narrow walkways and corridors. Once inside, you can tour the magnificent rooms, see the historical art and furniture and get a great view of the magnificent vistas overlooking the mountain area. It can get kind of windy up here in some areas so just keep that in mind. But the views are majestic and the sense of history is tremendous. But again, this place gets very crowded quickly and it is a bit of a trek to get up here, either by bus or walking though I saw several people who opted to walk up to the castle from the city below clearly regretting their decision when we passed them by ... so just keep that in mind as well.

When I first learned of Pena Palace, I thought it looked gaudy, but in person it is quite jaw dropping. You can see quite a bit of the grounds just by purchasing a pena park ticket, but that ticket doesn't give you access to the interior of the palace. We took the train to Sintra and walked the steep, windy streets up after taking a local bus. Definitely would take the $12/pp tourist bus or hire a tuktuk in retrospect, but on the bright side, I got a good workout. Worth the day trip from Lisbon.

You check in and then they ask you wait in their waiting area next door which looks a little bare and the outside patio seems like a smoking area. After we were called, we walked upstairs to a brightly-lit dining room. Lots of serving staff and all very friendly. Their menu is extensive and it's great they have photos too! My favorites had to be the giant tiger prawn, razor clams, and the crab head, but everything was tasted good and the seafood tasted fresh. Would recommend!

Even though the line of people in front of me was just 10, it took 15 minutes until I could approach the staff and ask for my selections. When we were finished and leaving there was a tour bus crowd of 50 people on-line. If you get stuck behind a group like that expect to lose at least an hour of your life waiting. Food quality is typical museum cafeteria style chow. Bambie had the giant slice of vegetable quiche with a side salad. Was tasty. My lamb stew with biriyani rice was passable. Drank fresh made melon puree / juice that tasted like summer in a glass. Indoor and outdoor tables. Given that you're a captive audience and the quality of the food, the prices are reasonable.

This restaurant seemed to be locals hangout as most of the older gentlemen were gathered around the tv to watch the Sporting Lisbon football game. There's an outdoor patio and indoor dining. I regret not going inside as the patrons outside were smoking non-stop. There are patio heaters to keep you warm. As for the food we ordered a couple of staples. Bife da vazia a marrare "Beefsteak sauce" was my choice and my wife got the paella negra which is black in colour using squid ink. Both dishes took some time to come out but they were hot and fresh. The steak was thick and juicy. The gravy was different because they use mustard along with the traditional Portuguese brown sauce. It really hit the spot. The steakhouse fries were crispy and soaked up the gravy nicely. The paella negra was made just right. Not too dry and not too saucy. I would have wished for more seafood but the dish was executed perfectly. Compliments to the chef! Overall, we enjoyed the meal and the price point is reasonable considering it's like one block off of the main strip. I recommend this restaurant based on my experience. The service was a bit slow but the quality of the food made up for it.
