Wander an Anglo-Portuguese millionaire's 19th-century fantasy where Gothic, Indian, and Moorish architecture meets wild botanical gardens from five continents. The palace interior dazzles with carved stone and latticed light, but the real magic is in the lush, meandering grounds: bamboo groves, hidden fountains, and a ruined chapel peeking through greenery. Slower and far less crowded than Sintra's headline acts, Monserrate rewards curiosity at every turn.
