Emergency in Sintra Forced Us to Change Everything | Boating Journey

We had big plans for our day trip to Sintra, Portugal — with reservations to visit the famous Pena Palace, Castle of the Moors, and Quinta da Regaleira. But just 30 minutes into our train ride from Lisbon, everything changed. Due to a high risk of forest fires, all excursions were suddenly canceled. While our original plans fell apart, we still made the journey to Sintra and discovered the charm of this UNESCO World Heritage town. From wandering cobblestone streets to exploring the palace grounds, we found a new appreciation for Sintra beyond the typical tourist attractions. If you’re planning a day trip from Lisbon to Sintra, this video will help you understand what happens when travel doesn’t go as expected — and why Sintra is still worth visiting even when your itinerary is disrupted. 👉 Next week on Boating Journey, we’ll share our full day exploring Lisbon — including a sailing trip on the Tagus River you won’t want to miss! 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss our Lisbon sailing adventure and more European travel content.
