What to expect

Pena Palace

This 16th-century hilltop castle brings together romantic, Renaissance, Manueline, and Moorish styles in one colorful complex. Inside, former royal rooms preserve the atmosphere of the palace's last residents.

Features

• With timed entry to Pena Palace, your visit is organized around a specific entry window, which helps you avoid long waits at the main access point. You enter at your scheduled time and can then follow the interior route without rushing.
• Your priority entry ticket lets you use a dedicated access, so you do not need to join the standard ticket-purchase line before entering the palace complex.
• Inside the palace, look closely at the decorative azulejos covering walls and facades, the carved arches framing doors and windows, and the everyday artifacts that once belonged to the royal family.
• From the castle terraces, you can pick out the town of Sintra below, trace the Atlantic coastline, and, on clear days, see Lisbon in the distance from this UNESCO-listed site.

Pena Park

Surrounding the palace, Pena Park forms a large landscaped area that frames the castle and viewpoints from all sides.

Features

• Access to Pena Park is included with your ticket, so you can explore the grounds as part of the same visit after the palace interior. You decide how long to stay in the park before leaving the complex.
• As you walk the paths, you pass through gardens that contain more than 500 species of trees, creating contrasting pockets of shade, open views, and changing vegetation.
• Several clearings and viewpoints inside the park give you alternative angles on the palace architecture, including its varied romantic, Renaissance, Manueline, and Moorish elements set against the surrounding hills.
