National Palace of Pena

๐Ÿฐ Sintra in the sunshine? Yes please! The National Palace of Pena totally owned my Portugal daytripโ€”fairytale towers, wild colors, and epic views everywhere. If you love outdoor European vibes (and taking #nofilter photos with a royal backdrop), this spot is essential. Must-See Place: National Palace of Pena Address: Estrada da Pena, 2710-609 Sintra, Portugal Hours: 09:00-18:00 (Closed Jan 1, Dec 24-25, Dec 31) Admission: โ‚ฌ20 Whatโ€™s Cool: The architecture is pure fantasy + you get those sunny panoramic shots of Sintraโ€™s hills and coastline. I explored every colorful angleโ€”from close-up detail hunting to wide shots for that storybook effect. The grounds outside are dreamy for a chill stroll and tons of Insta-worthy moments. Pro tip: Go in the morning to beat the bus tours and catch the best light! My Tips: - Wear comfy shoes, seriouslyโ€”the hillside is no joke! - Bring water and snacks since food isnโ€™t great inside and gets pricey. - Grab your tickets in advance on trip.com to avoid long lines and set times. - Best photo spots: main terrace and the castle bridges (crowds thin before noon). Getting Around: Take the train from Lisbon to Sintra, then hop Bus 434 uphill (donโ€™t bother walking; itโ€™s steep!). Weather: Even in summer, Sintra gets breezy in the mountains; pack a sweater just in case. Final foodie rec: After your palace adventure, hit up a local bakery and try a travesseiro (almond puff pastry). #SintraViews #PenaPalace #PortugalTrip #tripdotcom
