🇵🇹 Pena Palace @ Sintra
Pena Palace (Palácio da Pena) is a remarkable Romanticist palace located in Sintra, Portugal. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal. The palace was constructed atop Serra de Sintra, where a 16th-century monastery once stood. In 1838, King Fernando II acquired the monastery and played a pivotal role in transforming it into Pena Palace by renovating the existing structures and adding a new wing. The palace served as a summer retreat for the royal family.
Plan to spend at least two hours exploring the palace, as it is quite expansive. If you have additional time, it's worth visiting the beautiful park surrounding the palace. To save 5% and avoid long lines, consider purchasing your tickets online.

PLS visit during golden hour 🌅😍🇵🇹
#timetotravel
We visited in the late afternoon and managed to catch the golden hour, it was so magical!! 🌅
We took the train from Lisbon to Sintra and called an uber to drive up to the National Palace of Peña, from what I recalled, ubers in Portugal were not very expensive.
There is an entrance fee of around $120 HKD but it was so worth it to visit. The red and yellow exterior of the palace is stunning 😍 and this makes the palace unique from other palaces I have seen!!
The National Palace of Peña is situated at the top of the peak, therefore it offers a panoramic view of Sintra which is a plus!!

Checkinaway (@checkinawayblog) Must Visit Lisbon 🇵🇹 Pena Palace
We arrived at the Park/garden at 9:20AM on Sunday (the gardens open at 9AM) There was already a line of people buying tickets and a line of people entering the park. Although the line to get into the park was very quick, since security just needed to scan our tickets.
📍Do yourself a favor buy your tickets online, you don't need to choose a date when you are just visiting the park and outer terraces.
📍No need to buy a shuttle bus ticket, the line is longer than the walk up itself. It's a pretty easy up hill walk, that takes about 10-15 minutes.
📍It's a bit tricky to buy tickets for the garden & outer terraces online. But It is worth your money and there is no wait to walk around the outer terraces!
📍I would highly recommend coming to the gardens when they open at 9AM before the line of people starts. When we were leaving the castle terraces, the line was super long around 10:15AM
After visiting the castle terraces, we walked around the garden. There are some nice viewpoints like Elizabeth's hights. We went to the farm area, but we didn't see any animals which was disappointing.
If you follow these tips you will also have a nice trip like we did.
Pena Palace, a fairytale palace in Sintra
#newyearadventure
The Park and National Palace of Pena in Sintra is one of the most beautiful palaces in Europe.
The palace was built on top of Serra de Sintra on the site of a former monastery built in the 16th century. In 1838 the monastery was acquired by King Fernando II. He was the main driving force behind the construction of Pena Palace by refurbishing the old buildings and constructing a new wing. The palace served as a summer palace for the royal family.
Be prepared to send at least 2 hours there as the palace is huge and if you have time you should also spend some time at the beautiful park around the palace. Buy your tickets online to save 5% and save time queuing at the gate.

Day trip to Sintra and Cabo da Roca
#newyearadventure
Sintra is a UNESCO world heritage site in Portugal famed for its historic palaces and castles. It is about 50 minutes from Lisbon by train so you can easily make a day trip to Sintra while you're in Lisbon.
We visited Pena Palace, a fairytale palace built in 19th century, and Quinta da Regaleira, a neo-gothic mansion with the iconic initiation well. We had lunch in Sintra town centre and thereafter travelled to Cabo da Roca - the westernmost point of mainland Europe.
It may be cheaper to go from one location to another by Uber or other ride hiring platforms instead of hiring tour guides touting outside Sintra train station. The tour guide we hired charged us 35 euros per pax by fetching us from point A to point B.

Sintra is located about a half-hour drive west of Lisbon. It's not hard to get to the city, but reaching Peña Palace is a challenge, especially during the peak holiday season in summer.
First, you can drive to Sintra's train station and park your car. From there, you can take a bus or a tuk-tuk to the castle. Once you arrive, you'll need an entrance ticket to get in. Remember to buy a bus ticket when you purchase your entrance ticket! After that, you'll need to queue up at your designated time slot to enter. I think this castle is one of the most challenging attractions we've visited, but it's absolutely worth it!

Pena Palace
Pena Palace (Palacio da Pena) is a Portuguese royal palace. The red and yellow Pena Palace on the verdant mountain, with its cheerful pink colors and rocket-like castle turrets, makes it look like a fairy-tale castle. In addition, there are paths, porches, and fixed drawbridges, etc., forming a castle with a combination of various architectural styles. Pena Palace was built in 1840, nearly a century and a half ago, but it is still one of the newer palaces in Sintra. The palace is built on the rocks at the top of the mountain, making it look as if the palace is growing out of the mountaintop rocks, which is quite extraordinary.
Transportation: Take bus 434 to get there.

Pena Palace, Portugal's Summer Palace
Located more than twenty kilometers west of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a small mountain town - Sintra, a town covered with dense forests and shrubs in the continuous mountains. Around the town are Sintra Palace, Moorish Castle, Pena Palace, Monserrate Park Palace, as well as monasteries, museums and many other attractions. This fairy-tale-like town was listed in the 'World Cultural Heritage List' by UNESCO in 1995, and 'Pena Palace' is one of them.
Pena Palace is located on a mountaintop, often shrouded in clouds and mist. It has been a summer resort for the Portuguese royal family since the 14th century. Until the 19th century, Prince Ferdinand and later Ferdinand II built this Moorish and Manueline style building. In my eyes, this building feels different from other European architectural styles. Perhaps the Portuguese kingdom was not as wealthy as it was in the age of great navigation in the 19th century, or perhaps the building materials and construction techniques have changed. The entire building is no longer like the European architecture of the past, with stone as the main material and a lot of carving. Instead, it uses cement to build shapes and uses color to set off the atmosphere of the castle. Of course, this may be another style or feature. I don't feel it's as exquisite and shocking, maybe I prefer Roman columns and domes, Gothic towers and Byzantine style buildings, which seem more domineering. But Pena Palace is still popular with tourists, especially young people think it's more colorful for travel photography. Its location on the mountaintop makes it look taller and more spectacular, more imposing. From its viewing platform, you can overlook the scenery below the mountain, which is pleasing to the eye.
The interior decoration, layout and furnishings, I think I like it more than the castle's exterior, it does not lose the style of the royal nobility, luxurious and comfortable. Compared with Beijing's Summer Palace, a strong sense of life comes to the face, more like a noble family's residence. Perhaps it is the summer residence of the royal family, not a place to handle government affairs. And the blue mosaic decoration and the patio arches used in the decoration have a deep Islamic style, which is closely related to the fact that Muslims ruled the Iberian Peninsula for about 400 years.
Most of the visitors here are day-trip attractions, departing from Lisbon, and connecting with Roca Cape, first touring Sintra, choosing one or two attractions, and going to Roca Cape to watch the sunset at the westernmost point of the Eurasian continent in the afternoon. I think it's worth staying in Sintra for one night, because several attractions and gardens plus Roca Cape, even if you rush to check in, the time is very tight. There are many guesthouses on the mountain that have history and are very characteristic of the times. Perhaps they were once the summer villas of Portuguese nobles. The gardens in the courtyard are exquisitely maintained, and staying for one night is also a unique experience.
Pena Palace and Pena Garden have a package ticket of 14 euros. Because of the navigation, I went directly to the back of the palace on the top of the mountain and walked directly to Pena Palace through a small road, skipping the garden, saving time and garden tickets. Friends who drive by themselves pay attention, I was guided by a Portuguese with a sign hanging on my chest to park in a vacant lot in the mountain the afternoon before, asking us to take a shuttle bus, 20 euros per person, feeling like a scammer, driving away, because of the one-way line Directly down the mountain, I simply visited other attractions first, and went up to Pena Palace the next day. The host of the guest house that night said that those people have been stopping tourists' cars at the intersection for a long time to deceive people. In Portugal, except for the police, you can ignore others, and if you don't let go, you can choose to call the police. Hehe🤭, I learned another trick.
Travel is always encountering various emergencies on the journey, learning knowledge and gaining experience in solving problems. With some pictures, it may give you some inspiration for your itinerary.

I went here on an evening during a day trip in Lisbon and this place is INCREDIBLE. We took a train from the city to Sintra, which didn't cost much, and an additional bus to the landmarks in the area, such as the Palacio da Pena and the Moorish Castle. Sintra itself is scenic and beautiful, with cute cafes and vendors on the cobblestone streets.overall IT good

Stunning place, get there early for opening so you can see the grounds without so many around. The inside of the palace is interesting but I wouldn’t felt like I missed out if I didn’t go inside. The audio that you can purchase with the facility did not work well and the app kept closing so I wouldn’t recommend this. Many people around us went on a tour and this may be better if you are looking for the information.
