Must Visit in Portugal | Pena Palace

| Pena Palace. How can you travel to Portugal 🇵🇹 without visiting Sintra? This is a small town on the west side of Lisbon, the summer retreat of the Portuguese king 🌺. Here you can find Moorish-style city walls, fairy-tale castles, and mysterious and deep old manors... Pena Palace is the summer villa of the Portuguese king in Sintra. You can see the style of the Portuguese royal palace, which is unique. Personally, I feel that there are more beautiful things indoors, various beautiful arches and wooden windows, coupled with the scenery outside, it's absolutely amazing. 🌈Transportation: It takes about 50 minutes by train from Lisbon East Station. Because there are many attractions in Sintra and each attraction is quite far apart, you can directly buy a 'Sintra Day Ticket' at the East Station, which is very convenient! 🌈Accommodation: Sintra is a town at the foot of the mountain, with many ups and downs, and it is very inconvenient to carry luggage. Moreover, Sintra is very small. If you don't want to check in all, one day is enough to play, so it is not recommended to stay here. 🌈Play: The opening hours of all attractions in Sintra are basically the same. You can buy tickets for other attractions at one of the attractions, which is not only cost-effective but also saves the time of queuing to buy tickets!

Sintra National Palace

#weekendgetaways Beautiful castle, if you're up for it, walk to the castle through the pena Park, it is quite nice, but your legs will feel like marshmallow when you finish the climb up. You need to buy the ticket outside the castle and you go in by time slot. Try to be on time, but they might let you in if you are a bit late. From the entrance to the castle it takes about 30 minutes walking but there is a bus that can take you to the castle. However, the queue is quite long.
