Peninha Sanctuary<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and nestled at an altitude of over 400 metres atop the Sintra Mountains, Peninha Sanctuary is an idyllic spot that offers some of the most breathtaking views of Sintra. A stony path connecting the car park to the sanctuary leads the walk up, revealing an incredible panorama that stretches far and wide, featuring the vast coastline, the city and the majestic Atlantic ocean beyond. Everywhere you look, there are stunning backdrops that make for fantastic photo opportunities. \ud83d\udcf8<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sanctuary\u2019s origin dates back to the 18th century when a Baroque church was built on the spot where, as legend has it, the Virgin Mary appeared to young shepherds. While the church is not always open to the public, it boasts a stunning interior with walls entirely covered in traditional Portuguese blue and white tiles. On the other hand, the terraces are always open and offer more beautiful views that include Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point in continental Europe. For those who love nature, exploring the hiking trails through the lush forests surrounding the sanctuary is an excellent idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try visiting Peninha Sanctuary on a sunny day, as the panoramic views are the highlight of the experience. Don\u2019t forget to look for the St. Saturnino Hermitage while wandering around the area. Even though it is now in ruins, it still makes for a photogenic spot. \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_2\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/book-sintra\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photospots-sintra-photographer-flytographer-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-81952\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_2\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_3\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/book-sintra\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photospots-sintra-photographer-flytographer-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-81951\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_4\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/book-sintra\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photospots-sintra-photographer-flytographer-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-81950\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_3\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong><a class=\"notion-link-token notion-enable-hover\" href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-sintra-meet-ana-lucia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-token-index=\"0\"><span class=\"link-annotation-unknown-block-id--665398112\">Photo: Ana Lucia in Sintra for Flytographer.<\/span><\/a><\/strong> <em>Kavita and friend capture memories in Sintra with a friends photoshoot at Peninha Sanctuary. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div id=\"TRITON\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2><b>2. Terrace of Triton<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Terrace of Triton is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the Pal\u00e1cio Nacional da Pena, also known as the National Pena Palace, the symbol of Sintra. This exquisite archway is a popular spot for Instagrammers, and it\u2019s easy to see why. The attention to detail is simply amazing, with the mythical figure of Triton taking center stage. \ud83e\udddc\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes the archway so unique is its theme, which blends elements of the aquatic and terrestrial worlds. The lower part of the arch features a stunning design with intricate corals and three seashells, one of which serves as Triton\u2019s throne. Moving to the upper part, we see the tree growing from Triton\u2019s head, representing the terrestrial world, along with grape vines framing a stunning window on the second floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the Terrace of Triton is just one small part of the National Palace of Pena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places to take photos in Sintra. With a vibrant red clock tower, yellow facades and breathtaking city views, this 19th-century castle is the perfect example of Sintra Romanticism blending different architectural styles, from Neo-gothic and Neo-Moorish to Neo-Manueline. Also, notice how this place is full of turrets, those medieval towers that stick out of the walls in castles, especially the ones you find in playgrounds. \ud83c\udff0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When visiting the palace, don\u2019t miss its extravagant gardens, which are as eccentric as the architecture itself. This is where beauty, history and nature come together to create a truly magical atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_5\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/book-sintra\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photospots-sintra-photographer-flytographer-8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-81955\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_4\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_5  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_6\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/book-sintra\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photospots-sintra-photographer-flytographer-7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-81954\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_6  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_7\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/book-sintra\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photospots-sintra-photographer-flytographer-6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-81953\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_5\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_7  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong><a class=\"notion-link-token notion-enable-hover\" href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-sintra-meet-maria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-token-index=\"0\"><span class=\"link-annotation-unknown-block-id-569545635\">Photo: Maria in Sintra for Flytographer. <\/span><\/a><\/strong><em>Gaurav and partner celebrate their engagement in Sintra with a proposal photoshoot at the Terrace of Triton.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_7\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_8  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2>Look amazing in photos<\/h2>\n<p>Get 50+ insider tips on how to prepare, what to wear, and easy posing ideas for your next photo shoot!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_9\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_9  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_8\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/free-guide-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-78954\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_10  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child et_pb_column_empty\">\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_10\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_11  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div id=\"PALACE\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_7  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2><b>3.

Along with the palace and its lush gardens, the site boasts the intriguing Initiation Well, which features a beautiful spiral staircase that\u2019s totally Instagrammable and one of the best places to take photos in Sintra.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_12\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/book-sintra\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photospots-sintra-photographer-flytographer-12.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-81959\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_13\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_15  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_13\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/book-sintra\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photospots-sintra-photographer-flytographer-13.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-81960\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_16  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_14\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/book-sintra\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photospots-sintra-photographer-flytographer-14.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-81961\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_14\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_17  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_10  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong><a class=\"notion-link-token notion-enable-hover\" href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-sintra-meet-ana-lucia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-token-index=\"0\"><span class=\"link-annotation-unknown-block-id--665398112\">Photo: Ana Lucia in Sintra for Flytographer.<\/span><\/a><\/strong> <em>Jessica and partner celebrate their engagement in Sintra with an engagement photoshoot in Old Town. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div id=\"LIGHTHOUSE\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_11  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2><b>5.
