What to expect

Daytime

Cool days in Sintra: a jumper you can take off, a shell in the bag. Walking is fine. Lingering outside without a layer is optimism.

Mornings and evenings are colder than the postcard. Pack for both, especially if you leave the built-up centre.

Rain

Mixed skies in Sintra in February. Dry days and wet days share the month. Outdoor plans need a backup, not a cancellation policy.

Pack a shell you will actually carry. The monthly table is the place for totals. This is the feel: usable, interrupted.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack

  • Rain jacket

  • A layer for cooler evenings
