Since our Sintra/Pena Palace day was kind of a bust, we decided to visit the Palácio de Queluz. A good friend I’ve known my entire life highly recommended it (thanks, Mark). It is an 18th Century palace in Queluz, in the Sintra area. It is often described as the Portuguese Versailles.
It was incredible! The architecture, the grounds, the interiors were amazing. I’ll simply let the pictures speak for themselves. So glad we did this. It made up for missing the Pena Palace.
After the Palace, we decided to walk a couple of blocks away to the small town of Queluz. It was about lunch time, so we looked for a good place to eat. Found a burger/steak house with amazing food and fresh squeezed lemonade. Score!
