What to See in Sintra

The new Temple, of course! As it says on the Portugal Festival webpage called  Kadampa World Peace Temple, Sintra, which is under a heading called World Peace Temple:
"During the Festival, tours of the Temple will be arranged from the Festival site, which is approximately 20 minutes’ drive from the Temple."
