Park and National Palace of Pena

After a 45-minute drive from Lisbon (central pick-up location), we’ll arrive in the enchanting town of Sintra, with our first stop at the stunning Pena Palace, perched high in the mountains.Our adventure begins with a guided, gentle hike through the magical Pena Park—a lush, living masterpiece. This route offers a peaceful escape from the crowds at the main entrance. Once we reach Pena Palace, we’ll guide you along its vibrant terraces, sharing insights into its rich history and architecture. We believe the true beauty lies outdoors, so we don’t plan to visit the often-crowded rooms inside.
