Sintra crams a romantic-era fever dream into one forested mountain: Pena's candy-colored ramparts, Regaleira's spiral initiation well, and a finale on the cliffs at Cabo da Roca where Europe runs out. The early start exists for a reason — by 11am the palace is a slow-moving queue, and summer afternoons the hill road becomes a parking lot. Skipping one palace to breathe is the veteran move, and good guides will say so.
