National Palace of Sintra in Portugal

 The National Palace of Sintra in Portugal is one of Portugal's most famous monuments. It contains Masonic elements and symbols of knowledge since ancient times. It was designed by Antonio Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, a Portuguese architect who devoted more than 30 years to creating the monument. In addition to its regal architecture, Sintra also has a rich history. A trip to Sintra is not complete without seeing the palace.

The National Palace of Sintra includes many places that an experienced guide will tell you about, which can be booked on the website excurzilla.com.

For comfortable movement around the city, we recommend renting a car here - bookingauto.com

You may wish to take a tour of the museum before visiting the building. You can take the bus number 434 to the city center. The bus stops just behind the train station. While touring Sintra, visitors should also take the time to explore the museums in the town center, centered around the Town Hall. A trip to the Sintra News Museum is recommended, since it tells the story of the last century through the headlines.

The National Palace of Sintra in Portugal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The complex includes ornate gardens, a monumental initiation well, and a lake in the middle of the gardens. The National Palace of Sintra is one of the most spectacular works of art among medieval Portuguese buildings. The palace contains Gothic Manueline, Moorish, and Mudejar architectural styles. When visiting Sintra, make sure to bring your camera!

A visit to Sintra will allow you to see the city's most famous building: the Pena Palace. Built in the 1840s, this Portuguese palace is often compared to Neuschwanstein, a Bavarian castle built two decades before. It features a drawbridge and a conglomeration of turrets, ramparts, and a gargoyle atop a Neo-Manueline arch. Inside the palace, rich ornaments and porcelain are adorned throughout.

While you're in Sintra, be sure to visit the Moorish Castle and Pena Palace. These are the most important sites in Sintra, and you should spend a couple of hours exploring them. The National Palace, however, is the most beautiful of the three, so you may want to spend a full day or more. There is plenty to see here. Just make sure to arrive early for both of these sites.

If you have more than one person in your party, consider getting family tickets to save money. They are both UNESCO-listed and can be viewed at one time. If you're traveling with a large group, plan to wait a long time in the queues to gain entrance. If you plan on staying overnight, the Tivoli Palacio de Seteais is the closest thing to a Sintra castle.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

Nice

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
