The half day to Sintra and Monserrate, reviewed: 5.0 from 1 rating
For anyone who wants Monserrate without giving up the afternoon: pickup at a central point in Lisbon, Sintra’s historic centre with a queijada and a ginjinha to taste, then the palace, at about seventy-nine euros. The Monserrate ticket is paid at the gate — the listing says so in both its lists — so carry about twelve euros in the budget. 5.0 from 1 rating, and it reads like a good morning.
