Lisbon - Day 6, Sintra

Today is May 1 and a holiday in Portugal so we are off to the touristy town of Sintra located west of Lisbon towards the coast. Sintra is a popular place so make plans to arrive early to beat some of the crowds. We started our day with a visit to the National Palace of Sintra. Despite the tour groups and organized guides - we enjoyed visiting the small rooms of the palace and seeing some of the best ceramic tiles from Portugal.
