This mountain estate used to be an old monastery before it was transformed into the private palace of King Ferdinand 2
The surrounding forest park, known as the Park of Pena, is equally stunning, filled with exotic plants and hidden corners to discover. It truly lives up to its nickname as the 'Crown of Sintra', which everyone should experience for themselves.

The palace was originally a 16th-century monastery, but King Ferdinand 2 left its simplicity behind, ordering it to be transformed into a vibrant, fairytale palace.
Unable to choose just one architectural style, the palace became a fascinating blend of Romantic, Renaissance, Manueline, and Moorish styles.
If you love design or architecture (especially vibrant colors), this is an absolute must-see.

The surrounding gardens are equally beautiful, designed to suit the naturally humid climate. They feature over 500 plant species from around the world, along with many small caves and hidden, peaceful spots perfectly suited for true relaxation.

Don't forget to save time to soak in the spectacular views.
You will be treated to panoramic vistas of the entire Sintra region, the western coastline, and the city of Lisbon stretching out below.

Note:
The time stated on the ticket is for entry to the Palace, not the Park.
It takes about a 30-minute walk from the park entrance to the palace itself.

Admission
Present your electronic ticket at the Porta Férrea entrance.

Getting there

• Walking from Sintra city center: Approximately 45 minutes

• Bus: Scotturb line 434 (Pena route) from Sintra train station

Shuttle service

• A paid shuttle service is available from the park entrance to the palace, departing every 15 minutes and accommodating wheelchair users.

• There is a free Hop-on Hop-off bus between the palace and the Chalet of the Countess of Edla. Simply show your admission ticket to use the service instantly.

Tip from Rin : If you have a private van with driver, I highly recommend booking the earliest slot at 10.00. Also, you must book the shuttle, otherwise it will be a very long walk.
