If you're feeling hungry, you'll also find a wide selection of excellent local restaurants, cafés and wine bars where you can enjoy a relaxed meal.

   Pena National Palace

   Perched high above the misty hills of Sintra, the colorful Pena Palace is one of Portugal's most enchanting landmarks and a true symbol of Romanticism. With its whimsical architecture and breathtaking views over the surrounding forests and coastline, it feels like a palace from a fairytale. This is one of the most popular attractions that can be included in your private and flexible itinerary, depending on your interests, available time and pace you wish to enjoy for your day. The visit to the Grounds, Gardens or Palace is self-guided. Your guide will provide recommendations before your visit, and you will have free time to explore at your own pace. Admission tickets are not included in the tour price and must be purchased separately. For this private experience, we generally recommend purchasing the Park of Pena ticket rather than the interior Palace ticket, to enjoy the most scenic areas with greater flexibility and avoid being restricted by a specific interior entrance time.
