Parc de Maisonneuve is a true gem in the heart of Montreal! Its vast expanses are always clean and meticulously cared for. One of the most delightful features is seeing a herd of sheep mowing the grass during the summer season - a unique and eco-friendly touch! Add to this the occasional concerts and festivals, and it’s an unbeatable experience. With dedicated bike lanes distinct from pedestrian areas, it’s a perfect spot for everyone. A must-visit for all Montrealers! Highly recommend!
The Monument to the Discoveries in Belém is a must-see! This impressive monument honors Portugal's great explorers and stands proudly by the Tagus River. The detailed sculptures and rich history make it a fascinating spot. It can get crowded, but it's definitely worth it for the historical significance.
The National Palace of Pena in Sintra is an absolute must-visit! The palace looks like something out of a fairy tale with its colorful towers and eclectic architecture. The views from the palace are breathtaking, offering stunning panoramas of the surrounding hills and forests. The interior is equally impressive, filled with beautifully decorated rooms and rich history.
Be prepared for some crowds, as it’s a popular spot, but the experience is worth it. The gardens are expansive and lovely to explore, offering a peaceful contrast to the bustling palace. It’s a bit of a hike to get there, but you can also take a shuttle if you prefer.

Visiting Jerónimos Monastery in Belém was a mixed experience. The monastery itself is stunning, with its intricate architecture and beautiful cloisters that are a real highlight. Walking through the cloisters, we were amazed by the craftsmanship and serene atmosphere.
However, there are a few things to be aware of. The ticketing system is not great—they sell tickets until the last minute, which can be frustrating if you don't have enough time to see everything. The employees at the exit were unhelpful, simply directing us to a QR code to submit a complaint without offering any real assistance.
It's also important to note that the cloister is the only area open to the public, which wasn't immediately clear to us. The nearby Basilica, which is free to access, is also part of the site, but this information seems to be kept vague on purpose. While the cloister is absolutely beautiful, we left feeling that the experience was a bit deceptive due to these issues.
Despite these drawbacks, Jerónimos Monastery is still worth a visit for its historical significance and architectural beauty. Just be prepared for some potential frustrations and plan your visit accordingly.
