The most iconic Portuguese monument sits at the top of a mountain above Sintra town. Very busy, so it is better to book online in advance. The gardens are beautiful to explore but the palace in the high season has a Disneyland feeling has you are always in a line to get in and during the visit.
Fairytale palace floating over Sintra. Gets very crowded. We suggest to just wander around the sprawling botanical gardens..
The Pena Palace is a Romanticist castle in São Pedro de Penaferrim, in the municipality of Sintra, on the Portuguese Riviera. The castle stands on the top of a hill in the Sintra Mountains above the town of Sintra, and on a clear day it can be easily seen from Lisbon and much of its metropolitan area
Recently named one of Portugal’s “Seven Wonders”, Pena Palace was ordered by King Ferdinand II in 1838 on the lofty ruins of an old monastery. The ostentatious Disney-esque architecture and high setting call to mind Ludwig II’s Neuschwanstein Castle, but Pena Palace is actually a couple of decades older. As was the fashion at the time, the palace rolls together many historical styles, from Moorish to Renaissance. It was built as a summer residence and has spellbinding stuccowork and trompe l’oeil painting inside, and views that will blow you away in the park. You have to spend time outside as Ferdinand II planted trees from around the world like sequoias, tree ferns, ginkgos, and Lawson cypresses that rise to astonishing heights.
