Park and National Palace of Pena

The Palacio Nacional da Pena is one of the finest tourist attractions of Portugal and exemplifies the 19th century Romanticism style of architecture. The palace is a hedonistic mix of vividly painted terraces, decorative battlements and mythological statues, all of which stand at stark contrast to the lush greens of the forests that encircle Pena.

Both can be done in one day and are SUCH beautiful places. Definitely worth taking a day trip to Sintra. You can buy tickets to both places and go around both, they are super close to each other. Fun fact: the Castle of Moors was featured in Game of Thrones!! There are great views from both.

A beautiful yellow and red palace at the top of a hill in Sintra. Only a short 30 minute train ride from Lisbon, this is a must see!

Unfortunately we went on a suppper rainy day and had very poor visibility, that being said it is a super cool destination but just be cautious that the weather can really damper your ability to see the property the way its mean to be ! I did it with a tour that picked up in lisbon but truth be told I would have rather done it seperate. We were given in depth tour all about all the inside of the palace which didn’t particularly interest me. Given if it was a nice day, i would have rather spent the time walking around the massive exterior looking at the architecture. Also ubers and super cheap from lisbon as well as like 2.50 euro and 30 min on the train!
