Park and National Palace of Pena
Pena Palace is a breathtaking example of 19th-century Romanticism. With its vibrant colors, whimsical architecture, and stunning hilltop views, it looks like something out of a fairytale.

In the heart of Sintra, you can explore the charming village, admire the National Palace, or take a scenic walk to the enchanting Quinta da Regaleira (tickets not included). Alternatively, immerse yourself in the magic of this medieval town — stroll through its narrow streets, soak in the local atmosphere, and savor a coffee paired with the famous "Travesseiro" or "Queijada" two must-try traditional pastries.
Quinta da RegaleiraPass-by Only
