MoPython Profile

I like the idea of putting such rather different places like the Galápagos Islands and the Primeval Beech Forests on the one hand, or the Pyramids of Giza and the Struve Geodetic Arc on the other, on the same list!
In this respect it is always exciting to experience a new WHS.
I live in Switzerland in a community that is part of the Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona and I used to work for the Rhaetian Railway. Again two very different WHS!

Sintra
MoPython Switzerland - 21-Jul-23

We visited Sintra as the last of 10 WHS in Portugal, on our varied trip between Porto and Lisbon this July.
What can I say about Sintra that hasn't already been mentioned in the 14 reviews below?
Should I mention that it has way too many people especially in the summer high season? Yes, it's like that, at times in the Pena Palace you feel like you're standing in an endless queue at Disneyland.
Should I mention that it's still incredibly beautiful? Yes, it is, especially the combination of gardens and palaces really excited us.
