We had such a lovely experience at Pema Palace and Park in Sintra. The place has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere, and the beautiful surroundings make it feel like a little escape from the busier parts of Sintra. What really stood out was the warmth and hospitality. Everything felt relaxed and genuine, and we enjoyed simply taking our time and soaking in the surroundings. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy the moment. A wonderful spot to visit if you’re in Sintra — highly recommended!

From booking tickets, to receiving them, to arrival at the Palace, everything was easy and exactly as described. The directions and explanation of the walk from the entrance up to the palace was just as expected.... The Palace itself is beyond what the pictures show... stunning views and history! I would recommend this stop. From Lisbon it was an easy train ride. We then purchased return bus ride to the entrance - which is unlimited stops for the day and a hop on hop off for the area. Well Worth it.

Just as the Caminito del Rey was a travel destination last year, Sintra was on our list this year. We were advised against going with our own transport. The mayor, as we understood from our Uber driver, wants to keep all vehicles out of his village. Except those of the residents, of course. So, Uber? Yes, that turned out to be the most practical and ultimately the cheapest option. Especially if you get a driver who actually lives in Sintra. He immediately gave us tips on the best way to get from one side to the other, as we wanted to visit Pena Palace first and then Quinta da Regaleira, which is quite a bit further away. Sintra is special not only for its colorful palaces, castles, and romantic gardens, but also for its microclimate. It is much cooler and more humid here than in Lisbon. This microclimate is partly why kings, aristocrats, and wealthy foreigners built their country residences here over the centuries. In the 19th century, Sintra took on its current fairytale character. King Ferdinand II had a ruined monastery converted into the spectacular Pena Palace. A unique combination of various styles: Gothic, Moorish, Renaissance, and even Egyptian influences. Around the palace, he had a huge, romantic park laid out with exotic trees, ponds, fountains, and winding paths. Walking through this park, you feel like you are in a fairytale world. But then again... with all those tourists! 😉

I've been to many countries and many castles in Europe - this was by far the most unique and beautiful. Absolutely worth the medium hike up from the garden entrance to the palace. The inside was stunning but the outside was something out of a movie. I could not get enough pics. Just a note: you definitely need to take some form of transport up to the garden gates. Its like... way up the mountain and it takes a good 30 minutes even on a bus. We also loved the Regalia - prepare for some walking, its actually quite a large park with a few attractions within it which I was not expecting. its also about a 20 minute walk from the main Sintra square, up hill. We were hoofing it to make it to our slot on time from where we parked.

Booked my tickets for Benfica stadium tour & museum from headout it was a fast and easy process, Headed to the stadium and it really did exceed my expectations it was absolutely beautiful and well worth it a definite must see on all accounts. The stadium was absolutely spotless our tour guide was so informative and I got some beautiful pictures in and around the stadium. I even got some beautiful pictures of the Benfica Eagles Gloria and Victoria. After out tour of the stadium we headed to Benfica's official store on site then headed outside and relaxed and had a coffee before heading in to the Benfica's museum which was just amazing. Over all a fantastic day out with so much beauty and history. 10/10

Pena Palace is certainly the most beautiful palace in Sintra. With its vibrant colors and romantic-era architecture, it is a must-see in Sintra. It really is a must-visit. To go up to the palace, I recommend taking the paid transfer; it's only 4.50 euros and saves you time and breath because the climb is long and steep. The essential visit takes about 2 hours, while the full tour of the palace can take up to 4 hours. Now, if you are going to visit the gardens too, be prepared for a whole day's outing, because there are 85 hectares of gardens. Obviously, you won't be able to see everything, but you will certainly marvel at the sights you do manage to pass through.
    • Explore the vibrant Pena Palace and the palatial Pena Park spread across 200 hectares, along with the Benfica Museum, with a single combo ticket.

    • Explore the 88 trophies, including the two European Cups, over 20,000 images and documents, and jerseys of the club's most iconic players at the museum.

    Seeing the palace was nice however be prepared for long lines and barley an opportunity to get a photo becaue there are so many people. We don't even get all the way to the castle on this trip because the cafe was closed and we couldn't hike anymore without getting water. It is beautiful however bring water, wear comfortable sneakers and be prepared to wait in long lines to get in and get on the bus

    Booking through Headout went super well, the app is simple to use, and you often get discounts the more you book through it, so we booked all of our activities in Portugal through it. Regarding the Pena Palace: The inside of the palace didn't really blow us away personally, but the huge park around it made up for it. There is so much to discover there, and you can spend many hours there.

    The actual palace was really interesting and very beautiful. The amount of time spent queuing outside and then again inside despite have pre booked tickets was disappointing and annoying. We felt overwhelmed by the crowds and felt there were too many people admitted at one time and this took the edge off the day.

    Access to the site from the parking lot by bus is very convenient. On the other hand, it would have been important to know that taking the shuttle would have made it easier to get to the reception area. That being said, the visit to the Palace is well worth it. It is a very interesting historical site to visit.
