**Lost in Lisbon & Sintra: A Tale of Castles, Sunsets, and Pastéis de Nata**

Just got back from an unforgettable trip to Lisbon **and Sintra**, and wow—what an adventure! From wandering the charming, cobbled streets of Alfama to soaking in the stunning views at Miradouro de Santa Catarina, every corner of Lisbon is pure magic. But Sintra? Absolutely **dreamlike**. Exploring the colorful wonder that is **Palácio da Pena**, walking through the mysterious **Quinta da Regaleira** with its enchanting gardens and hidden tunnels, and standing in awe at the dramatic **Castelo dos Mouros**—it felt like stepping into a fairy tale. I rode the iconic yellow trams, indulged in **way** too many pastéis de nata (no regrets), got lost in the lively energy of Bairro Alto’s nightlife, and took in the breathtaking landscapes of Sintra. The warmth of the people, the **unreal** sunsets over the Tagus River, and the sheer history that pulses through both cities made this journey one for the books. Lisbon and Sintra, you were **spectacular**—until next time! 🌅✨
