Question

What should I wear at the Wedding?

Answer

Dress code is cocktail style. Ceremony will be in a garden so make sure you bring shoes that can walk on grass and good for dancing all night! Sintra can get quite chilly at night (~50-60 degrees farenheit) so be sure to bring layers!

Question

Do I need a rental car?

Answer

You can travel between Lisbon and Sintra by train and uber pretty easily. We don't recommend renting a vehicle unless you plan to spend time touring more rural areas for more than a day. Parking in Lisbon can be very challenging and streets can be very narrow or difficult to navigate. We've been able to get everywhere with ease by walking and taking the Metro or grabbing an uber.
