What should I pack when moving to Sintra?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Sintra to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Sintra, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summers and heavier clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Sintra is known for its rainy winters. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as the town is hilly and has many cobblestone streets. Pack your essential documents such as passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. If you take prescription medication, bring an adequate supply along with a copy of your prescription. Bring a universal power adapter for your electronics, as the plugs in Portugal may be different from your home country. If you plan on driving, consider bringing an international driving permit. Pack personal hygiene items, although keep in mind that most things can be bought locally. If you have a favorite brand that might not be available in Portugal, consider bringing it with you. Don't forget to pack items that will help you feel at home in your new place, such as photos, favorite books, or comfort foods. Lastly, bring an open mind and a sense of adventure to fully enjoy the beauty and culture of Sintra," wrote a member who made the move to Sintra, Portugal.
