This place, which I actually had never heard of before visiting Portugal, was an absolute pleasure and a "must see" for anyone visiting Lisbon. Just the trip up the hillside to the castle entrance, including a quick swing through the city of Sintra, was just beautiful. And the castle itself was breath taking. In addition, the logistics were easy to do. Our on-line ticket purchase the day before allowed us an early entry before the site became too crowded. We opted to walk up the hill (there is a shuttle for those who can' or don't wish to make the climb) and found the walk through the surrounding park to be wonderful. Arriving at the castle entry was easy and a self-guided tour allowed us to enjoy whatever aspects of the castle we wanted to see. Something we'd not seen before. Visitors can scan a QR code at the entrance (bring your mobile phone!) and download descriptions of each room, without having to fuss with the headsets and players typically in use. This made the excursion that more enjoyable. As mentioined, if you're in Lisbon, don't miss the chance to visit. It's important to do this with a tour bus or a private (tourguide) car. Parking in the area is nearly non-existent, and it's best to have someone else worry about transportation for you.

One of the highlights of my whole trip was the visit to Pena Palace. High up in the mountains, it really is a fairytale palace! I think the only downside is the communication conveyed. We are told to be there in ample time, we are told we can get a public transit bus from the station and they run every 10-15 minutes. What they don't tell you is that the public transit bus is not really that "public" as in they don't accept navegante cards nor do they sell single or return tickets and you must buy a whole day hop on hop off ticket. They also don't tell you that from the station it takes 40 minutes to get to the Park entrance. I nearly missed my timeslot despite giving it plenty of time. It would help others if these numbers are actually given with the directions. I thoroughly enjoyed my day though and think the bus was worth the €10.95.

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.

We begonnen de dag in Lissabon daar van daan met de trein naar Sintra. Pena palace kwamen we snel in omdat we al kaarten hadden gekocht. Een prachtig kasteel. Mooie uitzicht punten. En je kan een prachtige wandeling maken door het bos naar een kruis berg op maar de moeite waard! Ik zou dit zeker aanbevelen.

Very exciting visits, and the staff was more than helpful. Unfortunately we arrived late at the National Palace of Pena, and despite everything, they let us in. The places to visit are thrilling; they combine nature and history seamlessly.

Make the most of your visit with access to both landmarks. Avoid the hassle of booking separate tickets!

Both sites are close enough to explore in one day, but you have the flexibility to book for different dates.

Access to both landmarks in one day. Spend the morning at Sintra Palace, and go a scenic drive or hike to Pena Palace & Park after.

Up for some historical insights? Opt for an audio guide to quench your knowledge thirst.

Did you know? Pena Palace was originally a monastery, transformed into a royal palace by King Ferdinand II, earning it the title of one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal

Thoroughly enjoyed the National Palace in Sintra. The free audio and displays were easy to access and very enjoyable. Stimulated our own further reading especially around Phillipa of Lancaster seeing as we are from Lancaster UK. The Routes around both Palaces were planned out well, we were glad to avoid a large tour group with our own audio. We took a Bolt taxi to Pena palace from the other side of the village. We walked back via the Moor castle. The path was clear had new huge steps on much of the first area near Pena. Thankfully it was all downhill. Arrive in time to view the Moor castle as you have to leave by 6pm. The castle itself is very step. Do note: sadly none of the castles considered disabled access, although Pena had a bus for €4.10 to get up from the entrance to the castle archway. However there was a steep ramp up inside through the tunnel to the first courtyard on cobbles and lots of stairs inside.

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.

Pena Palace is much more interesting than Quinta da Regaleira. Watch out for transportation in Sintra! Anyone planning to walk to the attractions should set aside an entire day—there are lots of steep climbs and relatively long distances. Other than that, there are a few other options. Naturally, I ended up with the most expensive one, which turned out to be the worst. Better check your options before arriving in Sintra.

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.
