I do plan on visiting Sintra but I wouldn't live near it. It's a bit too touristy for my liking.

Enjoyed the video!

You guys getting a bit weight I assume it's from pasteldenata and the amazing food portion sizes in Portugal:)

I live were and isn't only the palaces but the countryside that it is totally worth to live no need the car to go out you can walk every were to all the monuments and the countryside .As far the tourists in the winter their is less only in the summer the number increases . And if you know very well the area they can be avoid . And for people than don't want live in the noise town it is ideal it is quiet and you have everything near the monuments and the countryside plenty places since you have 36 scenic trails in the Sintra area to walk or go hiking or going mountain bicycle . If people come over were they need to explore beyond the tourist area . As far the housing situation when I did bought my house 2018 I did managed to buy in the right area near from everything and despite begin near the area is quiet but near from the market and the two train stations and near of the school that it is a excellent school I can't complain very happy were I live .

Sorry, but this video is confusing to me. Not sure what you're talking about. Is this about the Town of Sintra or about the Municipality of Sintra? As you speak not only about the "enchanted part" but also about the beach part and the east part (whatever that means), I suppose your're referring to the Municipality (but still it may be misleading). In that case, in my humble oppinion, it seems to me that your knowledge of the whole Municipality is way too superficial to make such definitive assumptions over an area that is much wider and complex than what one could assume from this single video. In my opinion you should define better what's the subject (place) of your video and gather more detailed information on the places (at least beyond Porto area) when you talk about them to avoid such superficial (and at some points misleading) analysis. For instance, your comment on the lack of nighlife is a little bit absurd, being it a residential, historic and cultural town. Sintra is part of the Lisbon area and of course when people living in this area go out they all naturally go to the partying places (be it Bairro Alto, Cascais, or whatever). You can't have everything in the same place. It's impossible and not even desirable, as your own negative observations show, like "this place is too touristy", "this place lacks charm", "this place is too full of people in the Bars", "this place lacks nightlife". Metropolis have different areas (and Sintra is part of a Metropolis), people choose to live in the one that better fits their taste/needs and whenever they need something else they go around (if your choice is to live in a calm place, it is just natural to move everytime you want to go partying). As we say in Portuguese "não se pode ter sol na eira e chuva no nabal". The advantages of a place for living is not only about what it offers by itself but also about what is offered close by. And that is why a Metropolis like Lisbon (which includes 16 Municipalities), with so many diverse places availabe for everything you want just around the corner, is so nice. I hope you don't see these observations as negative but as an incentive to improve by conveyin more sound and meaningful information. All the best!

I agree…Sintra is incredible to visit, but like you I wouldn't expat that!! I looked there, Cascais, across the river (Barreiro and Setubal district), but think we may have found a hidden gem…Torres Vedras!

Sintra is like Portugal's "Versailles": Landscape, architecture, history, … totally worth the visit.

Hi:

Before I found Coimbra thanks to you in July 2021, in fact I was searching in the Sintra area since the beginning of 2018. Sintra is too touristy as you say. I selected Malveira da Serra, 10 Km away from Sintra to the ocean . Through Streeview I discovered an electric fence in Cabo da Roca & safety concerns frightened me 🙄. Definitely I agree with your opinion about Sintra, your channel si really a great help. Looking forward to the artisan brewery fest in 3 weeks in Porto 🤣😂 .Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n d lovely guide.
