Park and National Palace of Pena
The marvelous Pena Palace was built on one of the highest points of Sintra Mountain, offering stunning views. It represents the greatest example of 19th-century Romanticism in Portugal, with different influences from the Manueline and Moorish styles. You may wander through its lush gardens, which have more than five hundred tree species from all over the world. The famous composer Richard Strauss named this magnificent palace the "Castle of the Holy Grail". Important: Entrance to the Pena Palace is subject to availability, and it's only possible with a previously booked date and time.
Quinta da Regaleira
As an alternative to the Pena Palace, you may visit the extravagant Quinta da Regaleira, which was built in the 20th century. It's well known for its lush gardens, caves, and enigmatic constructions, which evoke alchemical symbols from Freemasonry, the Knight-Templars, and the Rose-Cross orders. It also mixes different styles, reflecting Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Manueline architecture. Important: It's highly recommended to buy the tickets online in advance.
