This palace is undergoing extensive restoration and is extremely ornate inside. However we found the best bit was walking through the lush gardens which contains an amazing array of plants from throughout the world. More

Monserrate Palace is very unique w/Turkish influences in the architecture. It's currently (March/2012) going through a huge restoration process. It has extensive, lovely grounds, w many walking paths throughout. There is a nice cafe to visit for a coffee and pastry after walking through the grounds to the palace. More

Take some time to relax. Almost fully restored from the inside and outside. And the gardens are very beautiful. Please don't miss if your around Sintra's place. More
