Guided Tour to Sintra's Palaces

The Palacio Nacional da Pena is one of the finest tourist attractions in Portugal and exemplifies the 19th century Romanticism style of architecture. The palace is a hedonistic mix of vividly painted terraces, decorative battlements and mythological statues, all of which stand at stark contrast to the lush greens of the Parque de Pena forest.

The interior of the Pena Palace is equally as fascinating, being restored to reflect the decor in 1910, when the Portuguese nobility fled to Brazil to escape the revolution. Surrounding the Palacio da Pena are forested grounds, which continue the design ideals of Romanticism, with hidden pathways, mystical ornaments and stunning vistas.

The Palácio da Pena is one of the world’s most magnificent palaces, and this is why millions of tourists flock to Sintra each year. With the Pena Palace now being one of the most recognisable tourist attractions of Portugal, expect it to be incredibly busy during your visit, especially in the peak season.
This article will provide a tourist guide to the Palacio da Pena and help you get the most from your visit.

⚠ IMPORTANT:
✔ We cannot stress enough to you, how busy the palace can be during the peak season (Easter through to September).
✔ Always plan your visit as early (or late) in the day as possible. The palace has extended opening hours of 09:30 to 19:00 (with the last ticket sale 18:15), and always avoid 10:30-15:00, when the coach tours arrive.
