Best Sintra National Palace Tours in December

To visit this palace is to take a step back in time. As the home of the Portuguese royal family for almost five centuries, this palace stands as the country's most well-preserved medieval royal palace. Its two cone-shaped chimneys, geometric patterns on the floors and walls, and Europe's largest collection of Mudejar tiles hearken back to the palace's origins during the 12th century Muslim occupation, though the building's present day look dates back to the mid-16th century. This cultural treasure is not to be missed!
