Sintra Photo Drive: Eight Quick Architectural Stops

A five-to-six-hour photography drive using the same eight architectural spots. Drive between areas, park legally, spend roughly ten to twenty minutes finding a good exterior angle, then continue. This is not an interior-visit itinerary. Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, the Chalet and Vila Sassetti still require walking from permitted access points, and mountain-road restrictions may require public transport or a longer approach.
