Good for your weekBack in Lisbon by 12:00
We take the first train from Rossio and walk up through the forest while Sintra is still quiet, to the highest point of the hills at Cruz Alta and the walls of the Pena palace. The light at that hour is the best of the day.
On the way down we stop for coffee and a travesseiro in the village and you are on the train back before the tour buses arrive.
