  With direct connections operating regularly out of Rossio Station<\/a>, there’s no excuse not to take a day trip to this mystical town. Taking the top position on our list, its lush hilltops and ancient Moorish castles are guaranteed to take your breath away. The Disneyesque Pal\u00e1cio da Pena is a big hit with little travelers too. Hardly surprising it was once a favorite summer retreat of the Portuguese royalty, right? Head to Monserrate Palace after lunch to explore the botanical gardens. You better be prepared for an uphill hike though!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
